[0002] Supermarkets, shopping malls, and restaurants typically display items, such as fresh food or ingredients, using display cases. To meet the storage needs of different items in varying temperature environments, related technologies provide an open display case with two temperature zones: a cold zone and a hot zone. This display case includes a storage cavity, a cold air duct, a hot air duct, and a refrigeration / heating device. The storage cavity, cold air duct, and hot air duct are arranged in a front-to-back direction. The refrigeration / heating device is located at the bottom of the storage cavity and connects to the cold and hot air ducts. The storage cavity is divided into cold and hot zones. In full-cooling mode, cold air enters the entire storage cavity through the cold air duct for cooling. In heating and cooling coexisting mode, hot air enters the hot zone through the hot air duct for heating, and cold air enters the cold zone through the cold air duct for cooling. In heating and ambient temperature coexisting mode, hot air enters the hot zone through the hot air duct for heating, thus allowing the display case to meet the storage needs of various items at different temperatures. However, in the heating and ambient temperature coexisting mode, the hot air passes through the refrigeration device, resulting in heat waste and increased energy consumption.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-13, this embodiment provides a display cabinet, which includes a cabinet body 1 and a refrigeration system 2. The cabinet body 1 includes a storage cavity 11, an equipment cavity 12, a cold air duct 13, and a hot air duct 14. The storage cavity 11 includes a hot zone 111 and a cold zone 112 arranged vertically. The equipment cavity 12 is located below the storage cavity 11. The storage cavity 11, the cold air duct 13, and the hot air duct 14 are arranged sequentially from front to back. Both the cold air duct 13 and the hot air duct 14 extend vertically. The lower end of the cold air duct 13 communicates with the equipment cavity 12, and the back panel 15 between the cold air duct 13 and the storage cavity 11 is provided with ventilation holes. The hot air duct 14 includes a central air duct 141 and a central air duct 142. The middle air duct 141 has a side air duct 142 on the side of the middle air duct 141. The upper opening of the middle air duct 141 is connected to the hot zone 111 through the air inlet duct 16, and the lower opening of the middle air duct 141 is connected to the equipment cavity 12. The middle air duct 141 is provided with a heater 3, a fan 4 and a lower air damper 5 from top to bottom. The lower air damper 5 is used to close or open the lower opening of the middle air duct 141. The side air duct 142 is connected to the hot zone 111 through the return air duct 17. The side air outlet 191 and the side air damper 7 for closing or opening the side air outlet 191 are provided between the side air duct 142 and the middle air duct 141. The side air damper 7 is located between the fan 4 and the lower air damper 5 in the vertical direction. The refrigeration system 2 is installed in the equipment cavity 12.

[0037] Specifically, the display case also includes a heat insulation layer, which divides the equipment cavity 12 into an upper equipment cavity 121 and a lower equipment cavity 122. The upper equipment cavity 121 is connected to the lower opening of the cold air duct 13, and the lower equipment cavity 122 is connected to the lower opening of the intermediate air duct 141. The evaporator 21 and evaporator fan 22 in the refrigeration system 2 are located in the upper equipment cavity 121, and the compressor 23, condenser 24 and condenser fan 25 in the refrigeration system 2 are located in the lower equipment cavity 122.

[0038] As shown in Figure 2, in the full cooling mode, the lower air door 5 closes the lower opening of the middle air duct 141, and the cold air from the cooling system 2 enters the entire storage cavity 11 through the cold air duct 13 and the ventilation holes on the back panel 15 to cool the entire storage cavity 11. As shown in Figure 3, in the cooling and heating mode, the lower air door 5 opens the lower opening of the middle air duct 141, the side air door 7 opens the side air vent 191, and the cold air generated by the cooling system 2 enters the cold zone 112 through the cold air duct 13. The heater 3 heats the air, the fan 4 operates, and the hot air generated by the condenser 24 and the heater 3 of the cooling system 2 is circulated through the cold air duct 13. The hot air enters the hot zone 111 through the central air duct 141 and the air inlet duct 16, then enters the side air duct 142 through the return air duct 17, and finally enters the central air duct 141 through the side air outlet 191, completing the hot air circulation. As shown in Figure 4, when the display cabinet is in both heating and room temperature coexisting modes, the cooling system 2 stops working, the lower air door 5 closes the lower opening of the central air duct 141, the side air door 7 opens the side air outlet 191, the heater 3 heats, the fan 4 works, and the hot air enters the hot zone 111 through the central air duct 141 and the air inlet duct 16, then enters the side air duct 142 through the return air duct 17, and finally enters the central air duct 141 through the side air outlet 191, forming a hot air circulation. In the display cabinet provided in this embodiment, when the display cabinet is in both heating and room temperature coexisting modes, the lower air door 5 closes the lower opening of the central air duct 141, so that the hot air does not pass through the cooling system 2 in the equipment cavity 12, thus avoiding heat waste and reducing energy consumption.

[0039] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-7, the cabinet 1 further includes an air duct plate 18 and a side wall 19. Both the air duct plate 18 and the side wall 19 extend vertically and are spaced apart horizontally, forming a side air duct 142 between the side wall 19 and the air duct plate 18. A central air duct 141 is located on the side of the side wall 19 opposite to the air duct plate 18. A side air vent 191 is opened on the side wall 19. When the side air door 7 opens the side air vent 191, the side air door 7 is tilted, with its high end abutting against the air duct plate 18 and its low end located below the side air vent 191 and abutting against the side wall 19. This arrangement allows the tilted side air door 7 to guide air through the side air vent 191 into the central air duct 141 when the side air door 7 opens the side air vent 191, resulting in smoother airflow. Optionally, the cabinet 1 includes two air duct plates 18 and two side walls 19. Both air duct plates 18 extend vertically and are spaced apart horizontally. The two side walls 19 are located between the two air duct plates 18 and are also spaced apart horizontally. A central air duct 141 is located between the two side walls 19. Adjacent side walls 19 and air duct plates 18 form a side air duct 142. The two air duct plates 18 and two side walls 19 together form two side air ducts 142, located on either side of the central air duct 141 in the horizontal direction. The two side air ducts 142 are connected to the hot zone 111 via two return air ducts 17, allowing the air in the hot zone 111 to quickly return to the central air duct 141 through the two return air ducts 17 and the two side air ducts 142, resulting in faster hot air circulation and higher heating efficiency.

[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the display cabinet further includes a side air door drive assembly 8, which is fixedly connected to the side wall 19 and drivenly connected to the side air door 7, and is used to drive the side air door 7 to move relative to the side wall 19 to open or close the side air vent 191.

[0041] Optionally, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the side damper drive assembly 8 includes a fixed frame 81, a connecting arm 82, a side damper motor 83, and a transmission gear 84. The fixed frame 81 is fixedly connected to the side wall 19, the side damper motor 83 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 81, the side damper 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 82 at an included angle, the connecting arm 82 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 84, and the transmission gear 84 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 81 and is driven by the side damper motor 83. When the side damper motor 83 drives the transmission gear 84 to rotate, it drives the side damper 7 to rotate around the axis of the transmission gear 84, thereby opening or closing the side air vent 191. This configuration, by fixing the side damper 7 to the transmission gear 84, modularizes the side damper 7 and the side damper drive assembly 8, allowing for direct installation by fixing the fixed frame 81 to the side wall 19. In other embodiments, the side damper 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall 19, and the side damper motor 83 is driven by the side damper 7.

[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the side damper drive assembly 8 further includes a support shaft 85, which is supported by a fixing frame 81. Both the transmission gear 84 and the connecting arm 82 are rotatably mounted on the support shaft 85, and the end faces of the connecting arm 82 and the transmission gear 84 are fixedly connected by a first fastener 86. Since both the connecting arm 82 and the transmission gear 84 are mounted on the support shaft 85, their relative positions are accurately ensured. The fixed connection between the end faces of the connecting arm 82 and the transmission gear 84 by the first fastener 86 makes the connection more reliable. Optionally, the first fastener 86 is a bolt.

[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG8, the side damper drive assembly 8 further includes a first sensor 87 and a second sensor 88 mounted on the fixed frame 81. The connecting arm 82 includes a first arm 821 and a second arm 822 connected at an angle. The first arm 821 is fixedly connected to the side damper 7, and the second arm 822 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 84. When the side damper 7 closes the side air vent 191, the second arm 822 engages with the first sensor 87 and disengages from the second sensor 88. When the side damper 7 opens the side air vent 191, the second arm 822 engages with the second sensor 88 and disengages from the first sensor 87. When the second arm 822 engages with the first sensor 87 and disengages from the second sensor 88, the first sensor 87 outputs a first signal and the second sensor 88 outputs a second signal, thereby determining that the side air door 7 closes the side air vent 191; when the second arm 822 engages with the second sensor 88 and disengages from the first sensor 87, the first sensor 87 outputs a third signal and the second sensor 88 outputs a fourth signal, thereby determining that the side air door 7 opens the side air vent 191.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, an upper air door 6 is also provided in the intermediate air duct 141. The upper air door 6 has an open position and a closed position. When the upper air door 6 is in the open position, the intermediate air duct 141 is connected to the air inlet duct 16. When the upper air door 6 is in the closed position, the intermediate air duct 141 is disconnected from the air inlet duct 16. In this embodiment, by setting the upper air door 6, as shown in Figure 2, in the full cooling mode, the upper air door 6 is in the closed position, and the intermediate air duct 141 is disconnected from the air inlet duct 16. At this time, the cold air in the cold air duct 13 cannot diffuse to the intermediate air duct 141 through the air inlet duct 16, reducing energy consumption and ensuring the cooling effect. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the heating and cooling coexistence mode and the heating and room temperature coexistence mode, the upper air door 6 is in the open position, so that the intermediate air duct 141 is connected to the air inlet duct 16. At this time, hot air can enter the hot zone 111 from the intermediate air duct 141 through the air inlet duct 16. Optionally, the upper air door 6 is adjacent to the upper opening of the intermediate air duct 141.

[0045] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 12, the cabinet 1 further includes a first plate 10, a second plate 101, and a third plate 102. The first plate 10 and the second plate 101 are arranged at intervals relative to each other in the left-right direction, and the third plate 102 is connected between the first plate 10 and the second plate 101. The intermediate air duct 141 is formed between the first plate 10, the second plate 101, and the third plate 102. The left and right ends of the upper air door 6 are rotatably connected to the first plate 10 and the second plate 101, respectively. When the upper air door 6 is in the open position, the upper air door 6 is placed in the vertical direction (up and down direction in the figure). When the upper air door 6 is in the closed position, the upper air door 6 is placed in the horizontal direction. The display cabinet also includes an upper air door drive assembly 9, which is installed on the side of the second plate 101 away from the intermediate air duct 141. The upper air door drive assembly 9 is connected to the upper air door 6 for driving the upper air door 6 to rotate to the open position or the closed position.

[0046] Optionally, as shown in Figure 12, the upper damper drive assembly 9 includes an upper damper motor 91 and an upper damper gear 92. The upper damper motor 91 is fixed to the second plate 101, and the upper damper gear 92 is connected to the upper damper motor 91 in a transmission manner. The upper damper gear 92 is fixedly sleeved on a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft passes through the second plate 101 and is fixedly connected to the upper damper 6. When the output shaft of the upper damper motor 91 rotates, it drives the upper damper gear 92 to rotate, thereby causing the upper damper 6 to rotate to the open or closed position. Optionally, the upper damper drive assembly 9 further includes a third sensor 93, a fourth sensor 94, and a detection element 95. The detection element 95 is fixedly connected to the upper damper gear 92. The third sensor 93 and the fourth sensor 94 are both fixed to the second plate 101. When the upper damper 6 is in the closed position, the detection element 95 engages with the third sensor 93 and disengages from the fourth sensor 94. When the upper damper 6 is in the closed position, the detection element 95 engages with the fourth sensor 94 and disengages from the third sensor 93. Based on the signals from the third sensor 93 and the fourth sensor 94, it can be determined whether the upper damper 6 is in the open or closed position. Optionally, the first plate 10 and the second plate 101 are respectively arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the two side walls 19, and the upper damper drive assembly 9 is located between the second plate 101 and the adjacent side wall 19.

[0047] Optionally, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the display case also includes a lower air door drive assembly 110.
