Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the kitchen appliance sector, steam ovens and refrigerators are commonly used devices. Currently, there are no steam ovens that can also function as refrigerators. Some products integrate steam ovens and refrigerators in a vertical arrangement, but this integration is essentially a combination of separate functions. Existing steam ovens or integrated products face significant technical bottlenecks in practical use. Users expect to place frozen food in the same compartment and heat it directly from frozen to fully cooked, but existing products cannot meet this need. Although some existing technologies can address the heating of frozen food to a certain extent, they do not achieve a deep integration of steam oven and refrigerator functions and seamless switching between hot and cold modes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a device that can combine the functions of a steam oven and refrigerator, switch between hot and cold modes, and simultaneously solve the problem of heating frozen food from frozen to fully cooked within the same compartment, to fill the market gap and meet diverse user needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a steam oven and refrigerator that can cook food from freezing to full doneness in the same cooking cavity and provide auxiliary heating during the steaming and baking process, in light of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a steam oven and refrigerator integrated machine, including a shell and a cavity disposed inside the shell, characterized in that: an installation cavity is formed between the shell and the cavity, and a compressor, a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component are installed in the installation cavity. The compressor, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are connected through a refrigerant pipeline. A four-way valve is installed on the refrigerant pipeline. The first heat exchange component has a first air outlet and a first air return outlet. Both the first air outlet and the first air return outlet are in fluid communication with the interior of the cavity.

[0005] Preferably, the second heat exchange component has a second air outlet and a second air return outlet, both of which are in phase communication with the outside of the casing.

[0006] To prevent cold air from leaking outside the cavity, the first heat exchange component includes an air guide shroud, and the first air outlet is connected to the first return air outlet through the air guide shroud.

[0007] Preferably, the first heat exchange component is an evaporator component, which includes an evaporator and an evaporator fan, and the second heat exchange component is a condenser component, which includes a condenser and a condenser fan.

[0008] To create a suction effect, preferably, the evaporator fan and the condenser fan are located downstream of the evaporator along the airflow direction.

[0009] To avoid mutual interference between hot and cold heat exchange components, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component are located on different sides of the cavity.

[0010] More preferably, the first heat exchange component is located on the left or right side of the cavity, and the second heat exchange component is located on the rear side of the cavity.

[0011] The compressor can be arranged in multiple different locations; preferably, the compressor is located at the rear of the cavity. This arrangement reduces compressor noise from interfering with the user and prevents the compressor's heat from interfering with the evaporator assembly and affecting the cooling effect.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of any of the above solutions, the compressor can be turned on independently of the steam-bake system of the steam-bake-refrigeration all-in-one appliance, or during the operation of the steam-bake system, or simultaneously with the steam-bake system. This configuration allows the compressor to be turned on as needed in different operating modes, providing greater flexibility.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The compressor, the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component of the steam oven and refrigerator are installed in the mounting cavity between the casing and the cavity. The first air outlet and the first air return outlet of the first heat exchange component are in fluid communication with the inside of the cavity. By switching the four-way valve, the first air outlet can blow out cold air or hot air. When cold air is blown out, the air in the cavity is internally circulated and cooled to achieve refrigeration. When hot air is blown out, the food in the cavity can be auxiliaryly heated during the steaming and baking process, so that the temperature inside the oven rises faster and saves cooking time.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the steam oven and refrigerator combo of this embodiment includes a casing 1 and a cavity 2 disposed inside the casing 1. An installation cavity 3 is formed between the casing 1 and the cavity 2. A compressor 4, a first heat exchange component 5, and a second heat exchange component 6 are installed in the installation cavity 3. The compressor 4, the first heat exchange component 5, and the second heat exchange component 6 are connected via a refrigerant pipeline 7. A four-way valve 8 is installed on the refrigerant pipeline 7. By switching the four-way valve 8, the first heat exchange component 5 can be switched between an evaporator assembly and a condenser assembly, and correspondingly, the second heat exchange component 6 can be switched between a condenser assembly and an evaporator assembly.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first heat exchange component 5 and the second heat exchange component 6 are located on different sides of the cavity 2. Specifically, the first heat exchange component 5 is located on the left or right side of the cavity 2, and the compressor 4 and the second heat exchange component 6 are located on the rear side of the cavity 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first heat exchange component 5 has a first air outlet 5a and a first air return outlet 5b, both of which are in fluid communication with the interior of the cavity 2. The first heat exchange component 5 includes an air guide shroud 53, located outside the cavity 2. The first air outlet 5a is connected to the first air return outlet 5b through the air guide shroud 53, achieving internal circulation. The second heat exchange component 6 has a second air outlet and a second air return outlet, both of which are in fluid communication with the exterior of the casing 1, achieving external circulation.

[0025] When cooling the cavity 2, the first heat exchange component 5 is an evaporator assembly, which includes an evaporator 51 and an evaporator fan 52. The second heat exchange component 6 is a condenser assembly, which includes a condenser 61 and a condenser fan 62. Furthermore, along the airflow direction, the evaporator fan 52 is located downstream of the evaporator 51, and the condenser fan 62 is located downstream of the condenser 61. At this time, the compressor 4 operates independently of the steam-bake system of the steam-bake-refrigeration combo. The cold air blown from the first air outlet 5a of the evaporator assembly enters the cavity 2 for refrigeration. The air inside the cavity 2 flows back to the air guide shroud 53 through the first return air outlet 5b, and after being cooled, enters the cavity 2 through the first air outlet 5a, performing internal circulation cooling of the air inside the cavity. Thus, when defrosting and cooking, the user does not need to remove the food from the refrigerator and then place it in the steam oven, making operation more convenient and providing a better user experience.

[0026] When heating cavity 2, if the user switches from freezing mode to cooking mode, the four-way valve 8 is switched, the first heat exchange component 5 is switched to the condenser component, and the first air outlet 5a blows hot air into cavity 2. At this time, compressor 4 can be turned on during the operation of the steam-grill system, or it can be turned on simultaneously with the steam-grill system to assist in heating the food inside cavity 2, so that the temperature inside cavity 2 rises faster and saves cooking time.
