Each storage space may be divided into a plurality of storage regions by a partition plate, and the articles may be stored by a rack or a drawer.
The storage container 130 may be disposed in the storage space, for example, the storage container 130 shown in fig. 2 may be disposed in the first space. The storage container 130 has a fresh space defined therein. Through adjusting the gas atmosphere in the fresh-keeping space, the fresh-keeping effect of the food materials stored in the fresh-keeping space can be improved.

The electromagnetic valve 142 can change the communication condition of the air storage tank 141 and the fresh-keeping space, and when the electromagnetic valve 142 is opened, the air in the air storage tank 141 can be conveyed to the fresh-keeping space; when the solenoid valve 142 is closed, the gas in the gas container 141 stops being supplied to the fresh food space.
The refrigerator-freezer 100 may further include: a door 120. The door 120 may be disposed on a front surface of the cabinet 110 to enclose the storage space. The door bodies 120 may be disposed corresponding to the storage spaces, that is, each storage space corresponds to one or more door bodies 120. The number of the storage spaces and the door 120 and the functions of the storage spaces can be selected according to the actual situation. The refrigeration and freezing device 100 of the present embodiment is provided with a first door, a second door, and a third door corresponding to the first space, the second space, and the third space, which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. The door 120 may be pivotally disposed on the front surface of the box 110, and may be opened in a drawer type, so as to implement a drawer type storage space, where the drawer type storage space is often provided with a metal slide rail, so as to ensure a soft effect during the opening and closing process of the drawer, and reduce noise. The first space of the refrigerator-freezer 100 of the present embodiment is opened in a pivoting manner, and the second and third spaces are opened in a drawer manner.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, each air tank 141 may further be provided with: a base 143, a pressure gauge 144, and a gas delivery conduit 145. Wherein, the base 143 is used for fixing the air storage tank 141. And a pressure gauge 144 configured to detect the internal pressure of the gas tank 141. The electromagnetic valve 142 is disposed on the gas pipe 145. In addition, modified atmosphere device 140 may further include: the cover plate 146 is disposed in cooperation with the base 143 to isolate the air container 141 from the outside, and the air conditioning device 140 is flush with the upper surface of the storage container 130, thereby improving the appearance and flatness.
The case body 110 may include an inner container 111 defining a storage space therein. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the storage container 130 may be a sealed drawer including: a drawer cylinder 131 having a forward opening and fixed to the inner container 111, and defining a fresh-keeping space therein; and a drawer body 132 slidably installed within the drawer cylinder 131 to be operatively withdrawn outwardly and inserted inwardly from the forward opening of the drawer cylinder 131.
The drawer cylinder 131 can be disposed at the lower portion of the inner container 111, and in other embodiments, the drawer cylinder 131 can also be disposed at the middle portion or the upper portion of the inner container 111. In this embodiment, the inner container 111 and the drawer cylinder 131 may be integrally formed, or may be separately formed and then installed. In other alternative embodiments, the fresh food space may be defined by a sealed box, a sealed can, a sealed box, or the like.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the modified atmosphere device 140 may comprise a single gas tank 141. In one specific embodiment, the gas reservoir 141 may be filled with a single gas therein. The single gas may be carbon dioxide or nitrogen. For example, the single gas is carbon dioxide, and under the condition that the food material is meat, the carbon dioxide in the gas storage tank 141 can be conveyed to the fresh-keeping space, so that the fresh-keeping space realizes the preset gas atmosphere: the gas percentage of carbon dioxide is 35% to 45%; under the condition that the edible material is fruits and vegetables, carbon dioxide in the gas storage tank 141 can be conveyed to the fresh-keeping space, so that the fresh-keeping space realizes the preset gas atmosphere: the gas percentage of carbon dioxide is 3% to 5%.
The carbon dioxide can be ordinary air in the fresh-keeping space, and the specific proportion of the carbon dioxide, the oxygen and the nitrogen is actually regulated in the fresh-keeping space because the normal air composition comprises about 78% of nitrogen and about 21% of oxygen. The ordinary air in the fresh-keeping space is directly utilized, the fresh-keeping space is enabled to realize the preset gas atmosphere together with the gas conveyed by the gas storage tank 141, the additional arrangement of other gas tanks can be avoided, and the cost is effectively saved.
The inventor finds that under the conditions that the temperature of the fresh-keeping space is 4 ℃ and other storage conditions are the same, two groups of identical strawberry food materials are stored, one group is used as an experimental group to enable the fresh-keeping space to be filled with the dioxide to keep a preset gas atmosphere, and the other group is used as a control group to enable the fresh-keeping space to keep the original gas atmosphere. The mean values of the contents of the two groups at the beginning were 69.57mg/100g, and after seven days, the mean value of the contents of the control group was 66.93mg/100g, while the mean value of the contents of the experimental group was 67.31mg/100 g. The loss of the control group is 2.64mg/100g, and the loss rate is 3.79 percent; the loss of the experimental group was 2.26mg/100g, and the loss rate was 3.25%.
Similarly, two groups of the same spinach food materials are stored, one group is used as an experimental group to ensure that the preservation space is filled with the dioxide to keep the preset gas atmosphere, and the other group is used as a control group to ensure that the preservation space keeps the original gas atmosphere. The mean values of the contents of the two groups at the beginning were 812.6mg/100g, and after three days, the mean value of the contents of the control group was 786.84mg/100g, while the mean value of the contents of the experimental group was 802.69mg/100 g. The loss of the control group is 28.96mg/100g, and the loss rate is 3.35 percent; the loss of the experimental group was 9.91mg/100g, and the loss rate was 1.22%. Therefore, it can be seen that the refrigeration and freezing device 100 of the present embodiment can effectively reduce the loss rate of food materials, especially for vegetable food materials.
Compared with the gas atmosphere of 100% nitrogen gas by filling nitrogen gas, the food material fresh-keeping effect can be effectively improved by adjusting the multi-component gas. For another example, the single gas is nitrogen. Then under the condition that the edible material is meat, the preservation space can realize the preset gas atmosphere by conveying nitrogen in the gas storage tank 141 to the preservation space: the gas percentage of nitrogen is 97% to 99%; under the condition that the edible material is fruits and vegetables, nitrogen in the gas storage tank 141 can be conveyed to the fresh-keeping space, so that the fresh-keeping space realizes the preset gas atmosphere: the gas percentage of nitrogen is 88% to 92%.
It is emphasized that, since the normal air composition includes about 78% nitrogen and about 21% oxygen, the predetermined gas atmosphere can be achieved by the normal air in the fresh food space and the nitrogen delivered from the air container 141 to the fresh food space. That is, in the case of the above-mentioned predetermined gas atmosphere, the other gas than nitrogen in the fresh-keeping space may be oxygen, and actually, the adjustment of the multi-component gas is also performed, instead of the adjustment of the single gas component.
In another specific embodiment, the gas storage tank 141 may be filled with a mixed gas, and the mixed gas may be oxygen and nitrogen, or oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Preferably, the following gas atmosphere can be realized in the fresh-keeping space, and the storage effect of different food materials is improved. When the food materials are fruits and vegetables, the proportion of the mixed gas is 24.95% of oxygen, 75.05% of nitrogen, namely 5% of oxygen and 95% of common air. 5% oxygen, 92% nitrogen, 3% carbon dioxide. In the case where the food material is meat, the mixed gas ratio is 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen, or 40% carbon dioxide, 15% oxygen, 45% nitrogen.
Further, in the case where the storage tank is provided with a single body, one end of the gas pipe 145 may be connected with the gas tank 141 and the other end may be connected with the storage container 130. Specifically, in the case where the storage container 130 is a sealed drawer, the other end of the air tube 145 is connected to the rear of the drawer cylinder 131.
The refrigeration freezer 100 may also include a refrigeration system, and the refrigeration system may be a compression refrigeration system including components such as an evaporator, a fan, and a compressor. The refrigeration system provides different amounts of cooling to the refrigerated space and the refrigerated space, so that the temperatures in the refrigerated space and the refrigerated space are different. Wherein the temperature in the refrigerated space is typically between 2 ℃ and 10 ℃, preferably between 3 ℃ and 8 ℃. The temperature in the refrigerated space is typically in the range of-22 ℃ to-14 ℃. The optimal storage temperatures of different kinds of food are different, and thus the storage spaces suitable for storage are also different. For example, fruit and vegetable foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerated space, while meat foods are suitable for storage in the refrigerated space.
The refrigeration and freezing device 100 of the embodiment can acquire the type information of the food materials in the fresh-keeping space by detecting the opening and closing signal of the fresh-keeping space, determine the preset gas atmosphere of the fresh-keeping space according to the type information of the food materials, and open the control electromagnetic valve 142 to convey the gas in the gas storage tank 141 to the fresh-keeping space, so that the preset gas atmosphere of the fresh-keeping space is realized. The multi-component gas can be adjusted, and the fresh-keeping effect of food materials is improved.
Specifically, a switching signal detected by a magnetic sensitive switch arranged in a matching manner with the storage container 130 can be received; and determining the state of the fresh-keeping space being opened or closed according to a switch signal obtained by detecting the magnetic-sensitive switch, and further taking the state as a standard for judging whether the fresh-keeping space has a demand for air conditioning.
In other embodiments, the refrigerator-freezer 100 may further be provided with keys configured to obtain input from a user. The existence of the air conditioning requirement in the fresh-keeping space can be determined by a key 24 arranged on the refrigeration and freezing equipment 100, for example, the operation of opening the air conditioning function by a user can be acquired by the key 24, and the key 24 can be matched with the fresh-keeping space to determine the existence of the air conditioning requirement in the fresh-keeping space. Besides the keys, the input operation of the user can be acquired by using the display screen.
In addition, the information can be automatically acquired by using an image capturing device provided in the fresh-keeping space. The image shooting device is arranged in the fresh-keeping space, and can shoot the storage area of the fresh-keeping space to obtain the storage image. For example, shooting can be performed after the opening and closing signal of the fresh-keeping space is acquired, the shot image is compared with the storage image shot last time, and the image of the picked and placed food material is determined according to the difference part in the image. And identifying the image of the picked and placed food material to determine the type information of the picked and placed food material. This operation can be accomplished by the processor of the local main control board of the refrigeration and freezing device 100, and the stored image can be transmitted to the cloud server or transmitted to the mobile terminal through the wireless network transmission module, and the cloud server or the mobile terminal compares and identifies the image.
In other embodiments, the information about the type of the picked and placed food material manually input by the user may also be obtained through an input device (e.g., a physical key, a touch key, or a touch screen) disposed on the housing of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100; for example, the barcode scanning device disposed on the housing of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100 scans the barcode on the package of the picked and placed food material to determine the information of the kind of the picked and placed food material. It should be noted that, after the fresh-keeping space is opened and closed, regardless of whether the user puts in or takes out the food material, the type information of the food material in the fresh-keeping space can be reconfirmed, so as to subsequently determine the corresponding preset gas atmosphere.
The preset gas atmosphere of the fresh-keeping space is determined according to the type information of the food materials, specifically, the preset gas atmosphere corresponding to the type information of the food materials can be inquired in a preset type information table, wherein the preset gas atmosphere corresponding to different types of food materials is stored in the type information table in advance, and the type information of the food materials comprises meat, fruits and vegetables.

In other embodiments, the refrigerator-freezer 100 may further be provided with keys configured to obtain input from a user. The existence of the air conditioning requirement in the fresh-keeping space can be determined by a key 24 arranged on the refrigeration and freezing equipment 100, for example, the operation of opening the air conditioning function by a user can be acquired by the key 24, and the key 24 can be matched with the fresh-keeping space to determine the existence of the air conditioning requirement in the fresh-keeping space. Besides the keys, the input operation of the user can be acquired by using the display screen.
In addition, the information can be automatically acquired by using an image capturing device provided in the fresh-keeping space. The image shooting device is arranged in the fresh-keeping space, and can shoot the storage area of the fresh-keeping space to obtain the storage image. For example, shooting can be performed after the opening and closing signal of the fresh-keeping space is acquired, the shot image is compared with the storage image shot last time, and the image of the picked and placed food material is determined according to the difference part in the image. And identifying the image of the picked and placed food material to determine the type information of the picked and placed food material.

In other embodiments, the information about the type of the picked and placed food material manually input by the user may also be obtained through an input device (e.g., a physical key, a touch key, or a touch screen) disposed on the housing of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100; for example, the barcode scanning device disposed on the housing of the refrigeration and freezing apparatus 100 scans the barcode on the package of the picked and placed food material to determine the information of the kind of the picked and placed food material. It should be noted that, after the fresh-keeping space is opened and closed, regardless of whether the user puts in or takes out the food material, the type information of the food material in the fresh-keeping space can be reconfirmed, so as to subsequently determine the corresponding preset gas atmosphere.
The opening sequence and the opening duration of the electromagnetic valves 142 are determined according to the type information of the food material, specifically, the opening sequence and the opening duration of the electromagnetic valves 142 corresponding to the type information of the food material can be inquired in a preset type information table, wherein the type information table stores the opening sequence and the opening duration corresponding to different types of food materials in advance, and the type information of the food materials includes meat, fruits and vegetables. In the case where three air tanks are provided, the plurality of electromagnetic valves in the foregoing may be understood as three electromagnetic valves provided correspondingly.
In a preferred embodiment, in the case that the food material is fruits and vegetables, the electromagnetic valve 142 corresponding to the gas tank 141 filled with nitrogen gas may be sequentially controlled to open for a first preset time period, the electromagnetic valve 142 corresponding to the gas tank 141 filled with oxygen gas may open for a second preset time period, and the electromagnetic valve 142 corresponding to the gas tank 141 filled with carbon dioxide gas may open for a third preset time period, where the first preset time period is longer than the second preset time period, and the second preset time period is longer than the third preset time period.
