TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a salad cabinet. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing salad cabinet is generally composed of a cabinet body, a refrigeration system and a plurality of movable storage boxes (or material boxes), the refrigeration system controls the temperature of the refrigeration chamber through evaporators, compressors, expansion valves and condensers and the like, and the storage boxes are used for containing various fresh vegetables, fruits or seasonings.
[0003] The working principle is that the storage box is inserted through the top opening, the cold air in the refrigeration chamber is transferred to the storage box to keep the storage box warm, and the storage box is inserted through the top opening, so that the operator can add or replace food materials at any time, and the consumer can directly open the storage box to take the food materials.
[0004] However, the prior art has the following deficiencies:
[0005] The storage box and the opening at the top of the cabinet body are often simply attached or fixed by friction, lacking a reliable sealing structure, and the cold air in the refrigeration chamber is easy to overflow from the gap between the box body and the cabinet body, resulting in increased energy consumption, intensified temperature fluctuations and affected food preservation effect. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0007] The utility model aims at providing a salad cabinet with excellent sealing performance, easy disassembly and maintenance, energy saving, preservation and hygiene.
[0008] A salad cabinet comprises a cabinet body, a refrigeration system and a storage box, the refrigeration system comprises an evaporator, a compressor, an expansion valve and a condenser, the cabinet body is provided with a refrigeration chamber and an equipment accommodating chamber, the evaporator is arranged in the refrigeration chamber, and the compressor, the expansion valve and the condenser are arranged in the equipment accommodating chamber.
[0009] The refrigeration chamber is provided with a cabinet door which is hinged to the cabinet body and used for opening or closing the corresponding refrigeration chamber.
[0010] The equipment accommodating chamber is provided with a decorative plate which is arranged on the cabinet body in a detachable manner and used for opening or closing the equipment accommodating chamber.
[0011] The side wall of the equipment accommodating chamber corresponding to the decorative plate and the cabinet body is spaced apart and provided with a heat dissipation hole.
[0012] The top of the cabinet body is provided with a salad operation area, and the salad operation area is spaced apart and provided with an opening communicating with the refrigeration chamber.
[0013] The storage box comprises a top-open box body, the top of the box body is provided with an everted edge, the bottom of the everted edge is provided with a sealing gasket, the box body is inserted into the opening until the everted edge abuts against the top of the cabinet body, the sealing gasket seals the gap between the everted edge and the top of the cabinet body, and the opening is closed by the box body.
[0014] By arranging the sealing gasket between the everted edge of the storage box and the top plate of the cabinet body, the air-tight closure between the box body and the cabinet body is realized, the leakage of cold air in the refrigeration chamber is effectively prevented, and the sealing performance is greatly improved.
[0015] The leakage of cold air is avoided, the number of compressor start-ups and the operating load are reduced, the energy consumption is reduced, and the energy-saving effect is achieved.
[0016] The storage box only needs to be vertically inserted or pulled out, the operation process is simple and intuitive, no additional tools or complex structures are needed, it is plug-and-play, and the convenience of daily maintenance and replacement is improved.
[0017] The purpose of the utility model can also be solved by the following technical measures:
[0018] Further, the storage box further comprises a box cover, and the box cover is arranged on the top open port of the box body in a detachable manner.
[0019] Further, the sealing gasket comprises an elastic silica gel layer, a metal reinforcing layer and a bacteria-proof coating, the metal reinforcing layer is embedded in the elastic silica gel layer, and the bacteria-proof coating covers the surface of the elastic silica gel layer close to the top of the cabinet body.
[0020] The elastic silica gel layer provides good resilience and adhesion, so that the sealing gasket closely adheres to the top plate of the cabinet body when the box body is inserted, and the sealing performance is excellent.
[0021] The embedded metal reinforcing layer significantly improves the tensile and tear resistance of the sealing gasket, and is not easy to deform or shift during long-term use, so that the best sealing state is stably maintained.
[0022] The bacteria-proof coating covering the surface of the silica gel can continuously inhibit the growth of microorganisms and keep the sealing surface clean, so that the sealing performance is not affected by surface contamination, and the maintenance frequency is reduced.
[0023] Further, the metal reinforcing layer is a stainless steel or nickel-plated steel sheet, and the thickness of the metal reinforcing layer is 0.1-0.2 mm.
[0024] The stainless steel or nickel-plated steel sheet with a thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm not only ensures sufficient mechanical strength, but also does not make the overall hardness of the sealing gasket too large.
[0025] The corrosion-resistant property of the steel sheet prolongs the service life of the sealing gasket, reduces the replacement frequency, and further reduces the long-term maintenance cost.
[0026] Further, the bacteria-proof coating is a photocatalyst nano-composite coating, and the thickness of the bacteria-proof coating is 3-5 microns.
[0027] The photocatalyst nano-composite coating can continuously decompose bacteria and odor molecules under visible light, prevents the sealing surface from generating tiny gaps or being contaminated due to microbial activities, and thus maintains long-term stable sealing performance.
[0028] Reduces the hardening or unevenness of the sealing surface caused by the accumulation of bacterial films, avoids the increase of energy consumption caused by local air leakage, and indirectly improves the energy-saving effect.
[0029] Due to the self-cleaning function, the cleaning and maintenance period can be significantly prolonged, the daily operation is more convenient, and the maintenance cost is further reduced.
[0030] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0031] The utility model discloses a sealing gasket is arranged between the outer turning edge of the storage box and the cabinet top plate, realizes the airtight closure between the box body and the cabinet, effectively prevents the cold air in the refrigeration chamber from leaking out, greatly improves the sealing performance, avoids the cold air from leaking out, reduces the starting number of times and the running load of the compressor, thereby reducing the energy consumption, and achieves the energy-saving effect.
