The stopper arm 51 is provided on the peripheral side of the coil wheel 3, one end of the stopper arm 51 is hinged to the inner wall of the mounting box 12, and the other end of the stopper arm 51 faces the coil wheel 3 and can be abutted against the coil wheel 3. The tension spring 52 is positioned on one side of the stop arm 51 far away from the coil wheel 3, one end of the tension spring 52 is connected with the mounting box 12, and the other end of the tension spring 52 is connected with one end of the stop arm 51. The tension spring 52 can drive the other end of the stop arm 51 towards the coiler wheel 3 so that the stop arm 51 can rest against the coiler wheel 3.

Referring to fig. 4 and 14, the peripheral wall 126 is provided with a notch 1261, and a portion of the peripheral wall of the coil wheel 3 can be exposed from the peripheral wall 126 through the notch 1261 and abuts against the stop arm 51.

Referring to fig. 14 and 17, in some embodiments, a fixed shaft 53 is disposed in the mounting box 12 at a side of the stop arm 51 away from the coil wheel 3, wherein the fixed shaft 53, the hinge shaft of the stop arm 51 and the axle center of the coil wheel 3 are located on the same line. When one end of the tension spring 52 is connected with the stop arm 51, the other end of the tension spring 52 far away from the stop arm 51 is connected with the fixed shaft 53, at this time, the tension spring 52 is in a stretched state, and the tension spring 52 can drive the other end of the stop arm 51 to automatically face the axle center of the coiler wheel 3, as shown in fig. 17. Bolts or screws fixed in the mounting case 12 may be used as the hinge shafts of the fixed shaft 53 and the stopper arm 51.

Referring to fig. 14 to 18, in conjunction with fig. 9, a plurality of gear areas 301 are disposed on the periphery of an end wall of the coil wheel 3 at intervals, and the gear areas 301 are used for abutting against the stop arms 51. A recess 302 is formed in the space between adjacent gear areas 301, and the recess 302 allows the stop arm 51 to extend into.

A plurality of tooth slots are formed in the gear section 301 and are arranged continuously around the circumference of the coiled tube wheel 3. The tooth slot can engage with a stop arm 51, the stop arm 51 can apply a tangential force to the coiled wheel 3 to prevent the coiled wheel 3 from counter-rotating in the second direction, as shown in fig. 14.

Upon forward rotation of the coil wheel 3 in the first direction, the gear region 301 can push against the stop arm 51 to allow free rotation of the coil wheel 3 and thus free extension of the vacuum line 22 and vacuum fitting 23 out of the mounting box 12, as shown in fig. 16. At this time, the stopper arm 51 always abuts against the gear area 301 under the combined action of the tension spring 52 and the pressing force of the gear area 301 against the stopper arm 51. When the vacuum line 22 and vacuum connector 23 are released, the coiler wheel 3 will rotate in the second direction under the action of the coil spring, the stop arm 51 will immediately engage the tooth slot in the gear area 301 and limit the coiler wheel 3 from rotating in the opposite direction, as shown in fig. 14.

When the coil wheel 3 rotates to the position that the concave area 302 is opposite to the stop arm 51, the stop arm 51 can automatically extend into the concave area 302 under the action of the tension spring 52, and at this time, the stop arm 51 can be separated from the gear area 301, as shown in fig. 17. In the condition of fig. 17, the coil wheel 3 can continue to automatically rotate in the forward direction, causing the vacuum line 22 to continue to extend out of the mounting box 12, as shown in fig. 16. And in the condition of fig. 17, the coil wheel 3 is also capable of counter-rotating in the second direction, allowing the vacuum line 22 to retract freely into the mounting box 12, as shown in fig. 18.

Referring to fig. 15 and 18, in some embodiments, the stop arm 51 is provided with an arcuate portion 511 on a side proximate to the end of the coil wheel 3. When the coil wheel 3 rotates reversely along the second direction, the arc-shaped part 511 is smoothly attached to the gear area 301 of the coil wheel 3, so that the stop arm 51 can be prevented from blocking the reverse rotation of the coil wheel 3, and the retraction process of the vacuum pipeline 22 is smoother.

Fig. 19 is a partial cross-sectional view of the coil wheel 3 and cover plate 14 of fig. 5. Fig. 20 is a schematic structural view of the damper 6 in fig. 19.

Referring to fig. 19 and 20, in combination with fig. 5, a damper 6 is disposed within the mounting box 12 and is connected to the coil wheel 3. The damper 6 is used to slow the reverse rotation speed of the coil wheel 3 and the retraction speed of the vacuum line 22. Specifically, when the return member 4 drives the coil wheel 3 to rotate in the reverse direction in the second direction and retracts the vacuum line 22 into the mounting box 12, the damper 6 can apply a force to the coil wheel 3 in the direction opposite to the rotation direction thereof. The acting force can slow down the reverse rotation speed of the coil wheel 3, so as to slow down the retraction speed of the vacuum pipeline 22, and avoid the damage to the internal structure of the vacuumizing module or other potential safety hazards caused by the too high reverse rotation speed of the coil wheel 3 or the too high retraction speed of the vacuum pipeline 22.

In some embodiments, the damper 6 is a gear damper 6, and the gear damper 6 is disposed on the cover plate 14. The gear damper 6 may be secured to the cover plate 14 by a snap-fit connection. At the same time, the end face of the coil wheel 3 facing the cover plate 14 is provided with a gear ring 36, and the center of the gear ring 36 is positioned on the mandrel 124. The gear damper 6 is provided with a gear which extends into the mounting box 12 and is in meshed transmission with the gear ring 36. The gear on the gear damper 6 is always able to mesh with the ring gear 36 as the coiler wheel 3 rotates around the mandrel 124. And when the vacuum pipeline 22 stretches out of the mounting box 12 and the coil wheel 3 rotates forwards, the gear damper 6 does not have damping effect, and when the vacuum pipeline 22 retracts into the mounting box 12 and the coil wheel 3 rotates reversely, the gear damper 6 can play a damping effect, the reverse rotation speed of the coil wheel 3 is slowed down, the retraction speed of the vacuum pipeline 22 is slowed down, and the slow retraction effect is achieved.

Based on the technical scheme, the embodiment of the invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

in the refrigeration equipment of the embodiment of the invention, the vacuum pumping function is realized by matching the vacuum connector 23, the vacuum pumping device and the vacuum pipeline 22 which are arranged in the door body 11. At the same time, the vacuum pipe 22 can be wound around the coil wheel 3 by using the coil wheel 3 provided in the door 11. When the vacuum pumping operation is required to be performed on the sealed container outside the door 11, the vacuum connector 23 and the vacuum pipeline 22 are pulled out and extend out of the door 11 to perform the vacuum pumping operation. After the vacuum pumping operation is finished, the coil wheel 3 is reversely rotated by the reset piece 4, the vacuum pipeline 22 is rewound on the coil wheel 3, and the vacuum connector 23 and the vacuum pipeline 22 are retracted into the door body 11. The vacuum fresh-keeping device is simple to operate, convenient to store and beneficial to improving the convenience of vacuum fresh-keeping operation of users without using an external pipeline.
