[0019] To further clarify the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the present application is described in further detail below in view of the drawings and embodiments. It will be understood that the particular embodiments described here are merely used for explaining the present application, not for limiting the present application.

[0020] It must be explained that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same implicit meaning as generally understood by a person skilled in the technical field of the present application. The terms used herein are solely for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0021] Normally, food cabinets with a displaying function are all fitted with multiple cold storage zones, some cold storage zones being used for placing food or cooking ingredients on display, and the other cold storage zones being used for storing in reserve food or cooking ingredients to be used. These cold storage zones normally need to use a refrigeration device arranged in the food cabinet for heat exchange.

[0022] Since the refrigeration device in the food cabinet needs to perform heat exchange, the refrigeration device will disperse heat in the food cabinet; to maintain the normal operation of the refrigeration device, a heat dissipation structure is generally arranged on an outer shell to dissipate heat, but these heat dissipation structures are easily limited by environment layout and usage conditions, affecting the cold storage effect of the cold storage zones.

[0023] To improve a cold storage capability of food cabinets, the present application provides a food cabinet, comprising: a main body frame; a first cold storage part, which is arranged on a lower part of the main body frame, the first cold storage part comprising a cold storage door; multiple heat dissipation shells, which are respectively arranged on the lower part of the main body frame, each of the heat dissipation shells having multiple first through holes, the multiple heat dissipation shells surrounding the first cold storage part and exposing a side where the cold storage door is located, the multiple heat dissipation shells and the main body frame, together with each side of the first cold storage part that is surrounded, jointly forming a first air channel structure; an air-cooling apparatus, which is arranged inside the first air channel structure and is opposite the side where the cold storage door is located, the air-cooling apparatus being provided with a first refrigerant pipe of the first cold storage part, and the air-cooling apparatus being used for performing heat exchange on the first refrigerant pipe by means of the first air channel structure. By means of the multiple heat dissipation shells and the main body frame, together with each side of the first cold storage part that is surrounded, jointly forming the first air channel structure, the first air channel structure is enabled to take in and output air in multiple directions, such that the air-intake capability and air-output capability are improved; when some of the heat dissipation shells are covered, since the first air channel structure is provided with multiple air-intake and air-output directions, the first air channel structure can still dissipate heat in the remaining air-intake and air-output directions, thereby being able to reduce an effect on heat dissipation brought about by usage environment layout and usage conditions obstructing the heat dissipation shells, so that the cold storage capability of the food cabinet can be improved with the usage environment layout and usage conditions, and, when all the heat dissipation shells are uncovered, since the first air channel structure can take in and output air in multiple directions, the amount of intake air and amount of output air can be increased, thereby being able to improve a heat dissipation effect of the air-cooling apparatus, so as to be able to improve the cold storage capability of the food cabinet.

[0024] Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing at a first angle of a food cabinet provided by an embodiment of the present application; Fig. 2 is a schematic drawing at a second angle of the food cabinet in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a schematic drawing of the food cabinet in Fig. 2 after multiple heat dissipation shells have been removed. Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, the food cabinet may comprise a main body frame 1, a first cold storage part 2, multiple heat dissipation shells 3 and an air-cooling apparatus 4.

[0025] The first cold storage part 2 is arranged on a lower part of the main body frame 1, and the first cold storage part 2 may comprise a cold storage door 21. The multiple heat dissipation shells 3 are respectively arranged on a lower part of the main body frame 1, each heat dissipation shell 3 is provided with multiple first through holes 31, the heat dissipation shells 3 surround the first cold storage part 2 and expose one side where the cold storage door 21 is located, and the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 and the main body frame 1, together with each side of the first cold storage part 2 that is surrounded, jointly form a first air channel structure 32. The air-cooling apparatus 4 is arranged inside the first air channel structure 32 and is opposite the side where the cold storage door 21 is located; the air-cooling apparatus 4 is fitted with a first refrigerant pipe 22 of the first cold storage part 2, and the air-cooling apparatus 4 can be used for performing heat exchange on the first refrigerant pipe 22 by means of the first air channel structure 32. One cold storage door 21 may be provided or a plurality may be provided, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the cold storage door 21 may be a hinged door or also a sliding door, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the air-cooling apparatus 4 may comprise a fan and a compressor unit. In addition, the fan comprised by the air-cooling apparatus 4 may be singular or a plurality, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the air-cooling apparatus 4 may be arranged at a central position relative to the food cabinet, or also may be arranged at one side of the food cabinet, with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0026] Specifically, refrigerant is in the first refrigerant pipe 22, and a compressor drives the refrigerant to flow in the first refrigerant pipe 22; the liquid state refrigerant absorbs heat from the first cold storage part 2 by means of the first refrigerant pipe 22, and the liquid refrigerant that has absorbed heat vaporizes into gaseous refrigerant, and flows along the first refrigerant pipe 22. When the gaseous refrigerant flows to a portion of the first refrigerant pipe 22 that is arranged at the air-cooling apparatus 4, the air-cooling apparatus 4 dissipates heat of the first refrigerant pipe 22 by air-cooling.

[0027] Fig. 4 is a top view of the main body frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 has arrows for indicating air direction (air directions of bottom intake-air and output-air are not shown). The air-cooling apparatus 4 can divide the first air channel structure 32 into an air-intake structure (that is, the left side of the air-cooling apparatus 4 in Fig. 4) and an air-output structure (that is, the right side of the air-cooling apparatus 4 in Fig. 4); when the air-cooling apparatus 4 is turned on, the air-cooling apparatus 4 can generate suction, which can suck in air outside the food cabinet from the multiple first through holes 31 on the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 corresponding to the air-intake structure and blow air out from the air-output structure at the multiple first through holes 31 on the corresponding multiple heat dissipation shells 3, so as to be able to form cooling air in the first air channel structure 32. Since the first refrigerant pipe 22 is partially mounted in the air-cooling apparatus 4, the cooling air in the first air channel structure 32 can perform heat exchange in the first air channel structure 32 on the first refrigerant pipe 22, such that the gaseous refrigerant liquifies, and flows back to a portion of the first refrigerant pipe 22 that is arranged in the first cold storage part 2, thereby being able to refrigerate items stored in the cold storage part 2.

[0028] Since multiple heat dissipation shells 3 are all provided with multiple first through holes 31, regarding the air-intake structure of the first air channel structure 32, the air-intake structure can respectively take in air from three directions, that is, heat dissipation shells 3 of two sidewalls and heat dissipation shells 3 of the bottom; by the same reasoning, regarding the air-output structure of the first air channel structure 32, the air-output structure can respectively output air in four directions, that is, heat dissipation shells 3 of three sidewalls and heat dissipation shells 3 of the bottom.

[0029] In some scenarios of use, a user may place the food cabinet in a spacious environment, and, with no obstacles in such a spacious environment, the multiple through holes 31 of the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 are not covered; the air-cooling apparatus 4 can take in air from multiple directions by means of the first air channel structure 32, and output air in multiple directions, such that the first cold storage part 2 can generate a better cold storage effect.

[0030] In some scenarios of use, a user may cover multiple heat dissipation shells 3 during use, but the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 may all provide intake-air or an air-output capability, such that the first air channel structure 32 can still take in and output air, such that the first cold storage part 2 can still maintain a certain cold storage effect when the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 are covered.

[0031] Referring to Fig. 5, in one embodiment, the food cabinet may further comprise a second cold storage part 11, the second cold storage part 11 being arranged on an upper part of the main body frame 1, and a portion of a second refrigeration pipe 12 of the second cold storage part 11 being fitted in the air-cooling apparatus 4, for performing heat exchange on the second refrigeration pipe 12 by means of the air-cooling apparatus 4. Refrigerant is in the second refrigerant pipe 12, and a compressor can also drive the refrigerant to flow in the second refrigerant pipe 12. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the second cold storage part 11 by means of the second refrigerant pipe 12, and the liquid refrigerant that has absorbed heat vaporizes into gaseous refrigerant, and flows along the second refrigerant pipe 12. When the air-cooling apparatus 4 is turned on, the air-cooling apparatus 4 can cause the first air channel structure 32 to take in air from the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 corresponding to the air-intake structure, and output air from the multiple heat dissipation shells 3 corresponding to the air-output structure, thereby performing heat exchange on the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12 simultaneously. An opening of the second cold storage part 11 may be provided with a cover plate or also may not be provided with a cover plate, with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0032] In one embodiment, the opening of the second cold storage part 11 is provided with a slidable cover plate, and a user may open the opening of the second cold storage part 11 by means of sliding this cover plate, such that the user can more conveniently access food; after accessing food, the user can close the opening of the second cold storage part 11 by means of sliding this cover plate, such that the second cold storage part 11 can reduce loss of cold.

[0033] In one embodiment, the food cabinet may further comprise a control valve assembly 5; the control valve assembly 5 is respectively connected to the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12, and the control valve assembly 5 can be used for respectively performing loop control on the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12. By means of configuring the control valve assembly 5 to respectively perform loop control on the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12, the loop control of the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12 can be mutually independent, thereby allowing the first cold storage part 2 and the second cold storage part 11 to simultaneously provide different cold storage effects. The control valve assembly 5 may be used for control of the scenario above, and also may be used for control of other scenarios, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the control valve assembly 5 may be an electromagnetic valve, a low-pressure pressure control valve, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the control valve assembly 5 may be arranged at a central position relative to the food cabinet, or also may be arranged at one side of the food cabinet, for example, as shown in Fig. 3, the control valve assembly 5 may be arranged inside the first air channel structure 32, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0034] In one embodiment, regarding the food cabinet in some particular embodiments, the food cabinet has a certain food display function, which may be why the temperatures actually required by the first cold storage part 2 and the second cold storage part 11 are different; supposing the temperature required by the second cold storage part 11 is higher and the temperature required by the first cold storage part 2 is lower, then since the heat exchange effect provided by the air-cooling apparatus is constant in time, the loops of the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12 can be controlled by means of the control valve assembly 5 to control the flow in the respective loops, thereby controlling the temperatures in the first refrigerant pipe 22 and the second refrigerant pipe 12.

[0035] Referring to Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, in one embodiment, the food cabinet may further comprise an enclosing part 6 and a pull cover 7, the enclosing part 6 being arranged above the second cold storage part 11, wherein the enclosing part 6 may be provided with a hook part 61; the pull cover 7 is arranged on an upper part of the enclosing part 6, the pull cover 7 may comprise a pull cover handle 71, and the pull cover handle 71 may be used for hooking to the hook part 61 when the pull cover 7 is pulled to a preset length, to cause the pull cover 7 to cover an opening of the enclosing part 6. The enclosing part 6 may be a glass enclosure, or also may be a plastic enclosure, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the enclosing part 6 may be an arc-shaped enclosure, or also may be a cuboid enclosure, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the hook part 61 may be singular, or also may be a plurality, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the hook part 61 may be arranged at the bottom of the enclosing part 6, or also may be arranged in the middle of the enclosing part 6, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0036] For example, the hook part 61 is arranged at the bottom of the enclosing part 6; when the pull cover 7 is pulled to the bottom, the pull cover handle 71 may be hooked to the hook part 61, at which time the pull cover 7 cannot draw back, enabling the pull cover 7 to cover the entire opening of the enclosing part 6, which can reduce cold leaking from the second cold storage part 11 and reduce dust, bacteria, etc. entering the second cold storage part 11.

[0037] As another example, two hook parts 61 are provided, respectively arranged at the bottom of the enclosing part 6 and the middle of the enclosing part 6; when the pull cover 7 is pulled to the bottom, the pull cover handle 71 can be hooked to the hook part 61 at the bottom of the enclosing part 6, such that the pull cover 7 can cover the entire opening of the enclosing part 6; when the pull cover 7 is pulled to the middle, the pull cover handle 71 can be hooked to the hook part 61 at the middle of the enclosing part 6, such that the pull cover 7 can cover a portion of the opening of the enclosing part 6, so that not only may a certain opening be left in order for a user to take out items from the second cold storage part 11 or to place items which need to be refrigerated in the second cold storage part 11, but also a portion of the opening of the enclosing part 6 can be covered. By means of arranging hook parts 61 at different positions of the enclosing part 6, the pull cover 7 is enabled to cover the enclosing part 6 to various degrees.

[0038] In one embodiment, the food cabinet may further comprise a food processing part 13, the food processing part 13 being arranged on an upper part of the main body frame 1 and being arranged in parallel with the second cold storage part 11. By means of arranging the food processing part 13 in parallel with the second cold storage part 11, a user can process food at the food processing part 13, which can improve the convenience of using the food cabinet. The food processing part 13 can be provided with an operating table, a packaging material storage rack, a processing device, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0039] For example, referring to Figs. 6 to 8, the food processing part 13 may comprise a chopping board 131, a glove hanger 132, a toolbox 133, a scraps tray rack 134 and a packaging material rack 135, wherein the chopping board 131 may provide a user with a food processing area, and, when the user takes food ingredients that need to be processed from the second cold storage part 11, they can conveniently process food ingredients on the chopping board 131; the glove hanger 132 may let the user hang gloves; the toolbox 133 may provide a user with an area to store processing tools; the chopping board 131 may be provided with a scraps material-receiving hole, and the scraps tray rack 134 may hold a scraps tray, so that the scraps tray can collect from the scraps material-receiving hole scraps generated when the user processes food ingredients; the packaging material rack 135 can store various different packaging materials, so that the user can more quickly take packaging material and package food ingredients that have been processed.

[0040] In one embodiment, the bottom of the enclosing part 6 can be jointly arranged on the second cold storage part 11 and the food processing part 13 (as shown in Fig. 6), to enable the pull cover 7 to cover a partial area of the food processing part 13 and the second cold storage part 11.

[0041] Referring to Figs. 9 and 10, in one embodiment, the food cabinet may further comprise a display rack 8, wherein the display rack 8 is arranged above the second cold storage part 11, and the display rack 8 may comprise an insertion pin 81; the second cold storage part 11 may comprise a fixing part 111 arranged at the top of the second cold storage part 11, and the fixing part 111 may be used for inserting the insertion pin 81, so as to fix the display rack 8 above the second cold storage part 11. By providing the display rack 8, a user may display food ingredients taken out from the first cold storage part 2 or the second cold storage part 11, or food ingredients that have been processed in the food processing part 13; and since the insertion pin 81 fixes the display rack 8, displacement of the display rack 8 can be reduced, thereby preventing the display rack 8 from falling into the second cold storage part 11 as a result of being displaced due to not being fixed. The insertion pin 81 may be a spring insertion pin, or also may be a fixed insertion pin, with no specific limitation regarding this. In addition, the display rack 8 may comprise a display plate and a support, or may also comprise a display plate, a support and a serving tray rack, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0042] Referring to Figs. 11 and 12, in one embodiment, the first cold storage part 2 may comprise a guide plate 23 and multiple air guide apparatuses 24. The guide plate 23 is arranged inside the first cold storage part 2, and forms a second air channel structure 25 with an upper inner wall of the first cold storage part 2; the air guide plate 23 is provided with multiple second through holes 26; each air guide apparatus 24 is mounted on the air guide plate 23, and each air guide apparatus 24 may be used for taking in air in a direction from the bottom of the first cold storage part 2 to the top, so as to output the formed cold air, from the multiple second through holes 26 through the second air channel structure 25, in a direction from the top of the first cold storage part 2 to the bottom. The air guide plate 23 may have a flat state, or also may be a stepped shape as shown in Fig. 12, with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0043] Since the guide plate 23 is fitted with multiple air guide apparatuses 24, when each air guide apparatus 24 is turned on, air is blown from below to above, at which time cold air is formed in each air guide apparatus 24; since the upper inner wall of the first cold storage part 2 obstructs the cold air blown out of the multiple air guide apparatuses 24, the cold air flows along the second air channel structure 25, and the air is output from the multiple second through holes 26 along the guide plate 23 in a direction from the top of the first cold storage part 2 to the bottom. When air has a lower temperature, the density becomes comparatively greater, and this air falls relative to higher temperature air and settles; air is guided by the multiple air guide apparatuses 24, such that lower temperature air that has settled inside the first cold storage part 2 can be transferred from the bottom to the top, which can allow items in the first cold storage part 2 to be refrigerated more uniformly.

[0044] Referring to Figs. 5 and 13, in one embodiment, the second cold storage part 11 may comprise a box body 112, a cold well part 113, a first mounting frame 114 and a second mounting frame 115; the box body 112 may comprise a cavity 1121, a first sidewall 1122 and a second sidewall 1123, the first sidewall 1122 and the second sidewall 1123 being opposite sidewalls, and the cold well part 113 being located in the cavity 1121 and having an air-intake wall 1131 and an air-output wall 1132, wherein the first mounting frame 114 is arranged on the first sidewall 1122, and the first mounting frame 114 can be used for connecting the air-intake wall 1131, to form an intake-air air guide structure 116 between the first sidewall 1122 and the air-intake wall 1131, and the second mounting frame 115 is arranged on the second sidewall 1123, and the second mounting frame 115 may be used for connecting the air-output wall 1132, to form an output-air air guide structure 117 between the second sidewall 1123 and the air-output wall 1132.

[0045] Specifically, a small gap is present between the air-intake wall 1131 and the first sidewall 1122, and the air-intake wall 1131 and the first sidewall 1122 are connected by means of the first mounting frame 114, the first mounting frame 114 being formed by a material plate, such that the small gap opening between the air-intake wall 1131 and the first sidewall 1122 can be covered by the first mounting frame 114, so that the intake-air air guide structure 116 can be formed, and, when cold air flows up from the cavity 1121, due to obstruction by the first mounting frame 114, the flowing cold air can be blown through the intake-air air guide structure 116 into the cold well part 113, thereby enabling cold air in the second cold storage part 11 to gather in the cold well part 113, so that loss of cold can be reduced; by the same reasoning, a small gap is also present between the second sidewall 1123 and the air-output wall 1132, and the second sidewall 1123 and the air-output wall 1132 are connected by means of the second mounting frame 115, the second mounting frame 115 being formed by a material plate, such that the small gap opening between the second sidewall 1123 and the air-output wall 1132 can be covered by the second mounting frame 115, so that the output-air air guide structure 117 can be formed, and, when cold air flows from the cold well part 113 to the cavity 1121, due to obstruction by the second mounting frame 115, cold air that has passed through the air-output wall 1132 can be blown through the output-air air guide structure 117 into the cavity 1121, thereby enabling cold air entering the cavity 1121 to gather at the bottom of the cavity 1121, so that loss of cold can be reduced.

[0046] The cold well part 113 may be provided with one or more serving tray racks, and serving trays are placed on the serving tray racks, such that the cold well part 113 can store food by means of the serving trays, and also may be provided with a storage box, such that the cold well part 113 can store various items in the storage box that need refrigeration, such as sauce bottles (for example the placed cylindrical bodies shown in Fig. 1), with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0047] In addition, the above content illustrates an embodiment in which the first mounting frame 114 and the second mounting frame 115 are both singular, but the first mounting frame 114 may also be a plurality, multiple first mounting frames 114 jointly covering the opening of the small gap between the air-intake wall 1131 and the first sidewall 1122, and forming multiple intake-air air guide structures 116; by the same reasoning, the second mounting frame 115 also may be a plurality, multiple second mounting frames 115 jointly covering the opening of the small gap between the air-output wall 1132 and the second sidewall 1123, and forming multiple output-air air guide structures 117, etc., with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0048] In addition, the box body 112 may further comprise a cavity fan 1124, a flow of cold air in the box body 112 being accelerated by means of the cavity fan 1124, such that the cold in the box body 112 can be more evenly dispersed.

[0049] Referring to Fig. 14, in one embodiment, the air-cooling apparatus 4 may comprise a temperature control panel 41, the temperature control panel 41 being arranged on a heat dissipation shell 3 and being located at a side adjacent to a side where a cold storage door 21 is located; the temperature control panel 41 may be used for respectively adjusting a cold storage temperature of a first cold storage part 2 and a cold storage temperature of a second cold storage part 11. The side adjacent to the side where the cold storage door 21 is located is the side to the left of the side where the cold storage door 21 is located, or may also be the side to the right of the side where the cold storage door 21 is located, with no specific limitation regarding this.

[0050] Specifically, when a user uses the temperature control panel 41 to adjust the cold storage temperature of the first cold storage part 2 and / or the second cold storage part 11, the air-cooling apparatus 4 can control windspeed according to the adjusted temperature, and a control valve assembly 5 is adjusted, so that a flow rate of a first refrigerant pipe 22, a flow rate of a second refrigerant pipe 12 and the windspeed of the air-cooling apparatus 4 respectively can be made to match the cold storage temperature required for the first cold storage part 2 and the cold storage temperature required for the second cold storage part 11, so as to be able to improve the compatibility of the food cabinet with a user's requirements.

[0051] In one embodiment, a first cold storage part 2 may further comprise a storage rack 27 and multiple support frames 28, the multiple support frames 28 being respectively arranged at an inner wall of the first cold storage part 2, and the multiple support frames 28 being jointly used for placing the storage rack 27 and adjusting a placement height of the storage rack 27. The storage rack 27 is arranged inside the first cold storage part 2, such that utilization of space inside the first cold storage part 2 is increased, so that a storage capability of the first cold storage part 2 can be improved; moreover, since the placement height of the storage rack 27 can be adjusted by means of the multiple support frames 28, the flexibility of the storage rack 27 can be improved, so as to be able to further increase the utilization of space in the first cold storage part 2, thus being able to improve adaptiveness of the first cold storage part 2 to store various items.
