Abstract

A magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus and an air-cooled refrigeration device. The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus comprises a drawer container, a drawer, a magnet assembly, and a waterproof structure. The front side of the drawer container has an opening. The drawer is slidably mounted within the drawer container. The magnet assembly comprises a first magnet and a second magnet disposed on opposite sides of the drawer container. The magnet mounting cavity comprises a first mounting cavity for accommodating the first magnet and a second mounting cavity for accommodating the second magnet, and the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity are both configured to allow an airflow to pass through so as to cool the first magnet and the second magnet. The waterproof structure is configured to waterproof the magnet assembly.

Claims (49)

1 . A magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus, comprising:

a drawer container, having an opening formed in a front side thereof;

a drawer, installed slidably into the drawer container;

a magnet assembly, comprising a first magnet and a second magnet, which are disposed on two opposite sides of the drawer container;

a magnet mounting cavity, comprising a first mounting cavity for arrangement of the first magnet and a second mounting cavity for arrangement of the second magnet, the first and second installation cavities both being disposed to allow passage of an airflow to cool the first and second magnets; and

a waterproof structure for protecting the magnet assembly from water;

wherein the first and second magnets are each an electromagnetic coil;

a bottom wall of the first mounting cavity is provided with a first wire outlet, through which a lead of the first magnet passes and which allows outflow of a liquid from the first mounting cavity; and

a bottom wall of the second mounting cavity is provided with a second wire outlet, through which a lead of the second magnet passes and which allows outflow of a liquid from the second mounting cavity.

2 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the waterproof structure comprises a waterproof layer covering the electromagnetic coils.

3 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the electromagnetic coils are each a coil made of a wound enameled wire.

4 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a first annular groove is formed in the first mounting cavity, the first magnet is installed in the first annular groove, and the first wire outlet is formed in a corner of the first annular groove; and/or

a second annular groove is formed in the second mounting cavity, the second magnet is installed in the second annular groove, and the second wire outlet is disposed at a corner of the second annular groove.

5 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

a first air inlet of the first mounting cavity is formed in a corner of the first annular groove opposite to the first wire outlet; and/or

a second air inlet of the second mounting cavity is formed in a corner of the second annular groove opposite to the second wire outlet; and/or

an included angle between each of the first and second wire outlets and a horizontal plane has a value in a range of 0° to 45°.

6 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a thermal insulation plate, provided on a bottom side of the drawer container, wherein

the thermal insulation plate is provided with a water drain, and a height throughout the thermal insulation plate gradually decreases towards the water drain; and

the thermal insulation plate is configured to receive a liquid discharged from each of the first and second wire outlets.

7 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a water receiving container, disposed below the drawer container, wherein the water receiving container is configured to receive a liquid falling from the water drain.

8 . The magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus comprises:

a top cover plate, disposed on a top side of the drawer container, the first mounting cavity being formed between the top cover plate and a top wall of the drawer container; and

a bottom cover plate, disposed on a bottom side of the drawer container, the second mounting cavity being formed between the bottom cover plate and a bottom wall of the drawer container;

and/or,

the magnet assembly further comprises:

a first magnetically conductive member, installed in the first mounting cavity and configured to prevent leakage of a magnetic field generated by the first magnet,

a second magnetically conductive member, installed in the second mounting cavity and configured to prevent leakage of a magnetic field generated by the second magnet, and

a magnetically conductive connecting member, disposed between the first magnetically conductive member and the second magnetically conductive member, the magnetically conductive connecting member being connected to the first magnetically conductive member and the second magnetically conductive member, respectively.

9 . An air-cooled refrigeration device, comprising the magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the air-cooled refrigeration device can provide cold-blast air to the magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus.

10 . A magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus, comprising:

a drawer container, having an opening formed in a front side thereof;

a drawer, installed slidably into the drawer container;

a magnet assembly, comprising a first magnet and a second magnet, which are disposed on two opposite sides of the drawer container;

a magnet mounting cavity, comprising a first mounting cavity for arrangement of the first magnet and a second mounting cavity for arrangement of the second magnet, the first and second installation cavities both being disposed to allow passage of an airflow to cool the first and second magnets; and

a waterproof structure for protecting the magnet assembly from water;

wherein the magnetic field fresh-keeping apparatus comprises:

a top cover plate, disposed on a top side of the drawer container, the first mounting cavity being formed between the top cover plate and a top wall of the drawer container; and

a bottom cover plate, disposed on a bottom side of the drawer container, the second mounting cavity being formed between the bottom cover plate and a bottom wall of the drawer container;

and/or,

the magnet assembly further comprises:

a first magnetically conductive member, installed in the first mounting cavity and configured to prevent leakage of a magnetic field generated by the first magnet,

a second magnetically conductive member, installed in the second mounting cavity and configured to prevent leakage of a magnetic field generated by the second magnet, and

a magnetically conductive connecting member, disposed between the first magnetically conductive member and the second magnetically conductive member, the magnetically conductive connecting member being connected to the first magnetically conductive member and the second magnetically conductive member, respectively.
