Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to kitchen appliances, and in particular to a cooling and steaming integrated oven and refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, people have higher demands for the multifunctionality and convenience of kitchen appliances. Traditional steam ovens and refrigerators, as independent devices, have limited functions and cannot meet users' needs for efficient cooking and food storage. For example, users may need to refrigerate food before going out and want to cook it quickly when they return home, but traditional appliances cannot seamlessly switch between refrigeration and cooking, leading to increased time costs. In addition, refrigerators have limited storage space, especially when storing leftover food, often resulting in insufficient space.

[0003] To improve ease of use, integrated steam ovens and refrigerators have been invented, combining refrigeration and steaming / baking functions into a single device. For example, some steam ovens have a basic cooling function to assist in cooling down after cooking. However, these devices still have the following technical drawbacks: First, when the steaming / baking function has just ended, the cavity temperature is extremely high. If the refrigeration function is activated immediately, the refrigeration system needs a long time to lower the temperature to the required refrigeration temperature, resulting in food being kept in a high-temperature environment for an extended period, affecting its preservation. Second, the steaming / baking and refrigeration systems typically operate independently and cannot automatically coordinate their working modes according to user needs, resulting in insufficient integration and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a storage-type steam oven and refrigerator that integrates multiple functions such as ordinary cooling, cold storage and rapid cooling, in light of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated steam oven / grill and refrigerator of this embodiment includes an inner liner 1. A refrigeration system 2 and a cold storage system 3 are located outside the inner liner 1. The refrigeration system 2 and the cold storage system 3 are connected in parallel. The refrigeration system 2 can operate independently, while the cold storage system 2 only operates when the refrigeration system 2 is turned on. The refrigeration system 2 has a refrigeration cavity 20, which is connected to the inner liner 1 via a first air outlet 27. The cold storage system 3 has a cold storage cavity 30, which is connected to the inner liner 1 via a second air outlet 34.

[0022] Specifically, the refrigeration system 2 includes a compressor 21, a condenser 22, and an evaporator 23. The compressor 21, condenser 22, and evaporator 23 are connected by a refrigerant pipe 24. A first valve 25 is installed on the refrigerant pipe 24 between the condenser 22 and the evaporator 23. The refrigeration chamber 20 has a first air inlet 26 and a first air outlet 27. A first fan 28 and the evaporator 23 are arranged in the air duct between the first air inlet 26 and the first air outlet 27, and the first fan 28 is located upstream of the evaporator 23 along the air flow direction. When the refrigeration system 2 is started, the first fan 28 blows cold air into the inner liner 1 through the first air outlet 27.

[0023] The cold storage system 3 includes a cold storage unit 31 and a second fan 32. The cold storage cavity 30 has a second air inlet 33 and a second air outlet 34. The cold storage unit 31 and the second fan 32 are located in the air duct between the second air inlet 33 and the second air outlet 34, and the second fan 32 is located upstream of the cold storage unit 31.

[0024] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the cold storage unit 31 in this embodiment includes a housing 311, which has a refrigerant inlet 312 and a refrigerant outlet 313. A cold storage unit is installed inside the housing 311. The refrigerant flowing in from the refrigerant inlet 312 exchanges heat with the cold storage unit and then flows out from the refrigerant outlet 313. The refrigerant inlet 312 is connected to the inlet end of the evaporator 23 through a first pipe 35, and the refrigerant outlet 313 is connected to the outlet end of the evaporator 23 through a second pipe 36, thereby realizing the parallel connection of the cold storage system 3 and the refrigeration system 2.

[0025] A second valve 37 is installed on the first pipeline 35 of the cold storage system 3. When the refrigeration system 2 is turned on, the second valve 37 is opened, and the refrigerant flowing out of the refrigeration system 2 flows in from the refrigerant inlet 312, exchanges heat with the cold storage unit, flows out from the refrigerant outlet 313, and flows back to the refrigeration system 2.

[0026] The cold storage unit in this embodiment includes a cold storage ball 314 encapsulating a phase change material 3142. The cold storage ball 314 includes a shell 3141, with the phase change material 3142 disposed inside the shell 3141. Heat dissipation fins 3143 are provided on the surface of the shell 3141 to increase the heat exchange area, thereby improving heat exchange capacity and cooling effect. The shell 3141 is made of nano-alumina to protect the phase change material inside from leakage. The phase change material 3142 is paraffin wax; by mixing paraffin wax with graphene, the heat transfer coefficient can be increased, thereby improving heat exchange capacity and cooling effect.

[0027] When the cold storage system 3 is working, the low-temperature refrigerant flows in from the refrigerant inlet 312 of the cold storage unit 31 and undergoes forced convection heat exchange with the cold storage ball 314 in the cold storage unit 31. At this time, the paraffin wax solidifies from liquid to solid, storing the cold energy in the cold storage ball 314. The high-temperature refrigerant flows out from the refrigerant outlet 313 of the cold storage unit 31, completing one cold storage process.

[0028] In normal cooling mode, compressor 21 is turned on, first valve 25 is opened, second valve 37 is closed, refrigeration system 2 supplies cooling to inner tank 1 alone, first fan 28 is turned on to blow air into inner tank 1, and second fan 32 is turned off.

[0029] In cold storage mode, compressor 21 is turned on, first valve 25 is closed, second valve 37 is opened, cold storage unit 31 begins to store cold, first fan 28 and second fan 32 are both turned off, no cold air is sent to inner tank 1, and the cold energy is stored in cold storage unit 31.

[0030] In rapid cooling mode, compressor 21 is turned on, first valve 25 and second valve 37 are both opened, first fan 28 is turned on, refrigeration system 2 supplies cooling to inner tank 1, second fan 32 is turned on, paraffin wax melts from solid to liquid, releasing the cold energy stored in cold storage tank 31 to inner tank 1, thereby achieving rapid cooling under the combined action of refrigeration system 2 and cold storage system 3.

However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings.
