[0069] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0070] The application discloses a box body, which is applied to storage equipment.
[0071] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 23 A box according to an embodiment of the present application is described.
[0072] In some embodiments, the box body includes: an outer shell, an inner liner 100 , an insulation layer, a bracket 200 and an interior trim panel 300 .
[0073] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the inner liner 100 is installed in the outer shell, and the inner liner 100 forms a chamber; the insulation layer is located between the outer shell and the inner liner 100; the interior panel 300 is made of metal, the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are connected, the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are installed on the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100, the interior panel 300 is provided with a buckle 330, the bracket 200 has a through hole 210, the buckle 330 passes through the through hole 210, and the buckle 330 is snap-fitted with the outer edge of the through hole 210.
[0074] The metal material may include but is not limited to stainless steel or aluminum alloy, etc., which is not limited here.
[0075] For example, in some embodiments, the interior trim panel 300 is made of stainless steel.
[0076] The bracket 200 can be used to support the interior panel 300 and assist in assembling the interior panel 300. The bracket 200 can be designed as a plate-like structure. In order to better help the interior panel 300 to be assembled on the inner liner 100, the bracket 200 can be made of plastic material. For example, in some embodiments, the material of the bracket 200 can include but is not limited to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PU (Polyurethane), PS (Polystyrene) or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), etc., which are not limited here.
[0077] For example, in some embodiments, the material of the bracket 200 is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).
[0078] In this embodiment, if Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the buckle 330 can be designed as a bendable sheet structure. Correspondingly, on this basis, the buckle 330 needs to be made of a material with high flexibility and high plasticity, such as aluminum, copper or mild steel, etc., which is not limited here.
[0079] In other embodiments, the buckle 330 may also be designed as a non-bendable rigid structure. Accordingly, the size of the via hole 210 needs to reserve enough space for the non-bendable rigid buckle 330 to pass through when designing.
[0080] In actual implementation, Figure 8 As shown, during the assembly process of the interior panel 300 and the bracket 200, based on the structure of the buckle 330 being designed as a bendable sheet, the head of the buckle 330 can be set toward the bracket 200 before bending, and the buckle 330 can be aligned with the through hole 210 during operation, and the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are constantly approaching, and the buckle 330 gradually penetrates the through hole 210 until the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are fitted together, and then the portion of the buckle 330 extending out of the through hole 210 can be flattened using suitable tooling or tools, so that at least a portion of the buckle 330 turns under the original straight line, thereby overlapping and pressing against the outer edge surface of the through hole 210. When the outer edge surface of the through hole 210 is a flat surface, the buckle 330 can be approximately L-shaped.
[0081] It should be noted that the arrangement direction of the buckle 330 can be any direction, and the bending direction of the buckle 330 can also be any direction, which is not limited here.
[0082] For example, in some embodiments, the buckles 330 may be arranged in the up-down direction, and at least a portion of the buckles 330 may face forward after being flattened.
[0083] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the assembly between the interior panel 300 and the bracket 200 through the arrangement of the above-mentioned buckle 330 and the through hole 210. The buckle 330 can be installed through simple mechanical operations, such as bending, folding or snapping, so that the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 can be quickly and firmly assembled into one, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and facilitating the subsequent installation of the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 on the liner 100. At the same time, with the bendable sheet structure design, it can be bent into different shapes according to actual needs to adapt to complex connection conditions. In addition, based on the small and light weight of the buckle 330 and the convenience of mass production, the overall miniaturization and lightweight design are realized while saving manufacturing costs.
[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the interior panel 300 may include a main board body 310 and a pressed edge 320 connected to at least one edge of the main board body 310 . The pressed edge 320 may be attached to a side of the main board body 310 close to the bracket 200 , and the buckle 330 may be connected to an end of the pressed edge 320 facing away from the main board body 310 .
[0085] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the pressed edge 320 is only connected to one edge of the main board body 310 .
[0086] For another example, in some other embodiments, the pressed edge 320 is connected to two edges of the main board body 310 .
[0087] In actual implementation, during the processing of the dead edge 320 and the buckle 330, the part of the interior panel 300 that needs to be bent is first processed into the shape of a bendable sheet, that is, the buckle 330 is formed, and then a sharp-angle bending mold can be used to bend the interior panel 300 to an angle greater than 90 degrees. After the bending process is completed, post-processing processes such as deburring and trimming of corners may be required to ensure the quality of the workpiece, and then a flattening mold is used to partially flatten the bent part of the interior panel 300 so that the dead edge 320 is formed.
[0088] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned die-cut edge 320, cooperates with the structural design of the main board body 310, the die-cut edge 320 and the buckle 330, and utilizes a simple stamping process and a sheet metal process to process the complete metal sheet into the required shape. Compared with the traditional method of welding or gluing the buckle 330 on the main board body 310, using this structure, the main board body 310, the die-cut edge 320 and the buckle 330 are an integrated structure, the structural stability of the buckle 330 is greatly improved, and it is not easy to fall off from the main board body 310, and the die-cut edge 320 can significantly improve the mechanical strength of the edge of the main board body 310, so that the interior trim panel 300 is more wear-resistant and impact-resistant.
[0089] In some embodiments, Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the pressed edge 320 may include a first folded edge 321 and a second folded edge 322 that are bent and connected to each other. The first folded edge 321 may be attached to the main board body 310 , and the second folded edge 322 may be connected to the buckle 330 .
[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the first folded edge 321 can stop at the surface of the main board body 310 on the side away from the compartment. After processing, the first folded edge 321 and the edge of the main board body 310 are tightly pressed together. After molding, the gap between the first folded edge 321 and the main board body 310 is highly invisible. The second folded edge 322 is bent relative to the first folded edge 321, and the length of the second folded edge 322 can be smaller than the length of the first folded edge 321 to match the length of the corresponding position of the bracket 200. The buckle 330 can be connected to the second folded edge 322 in a straight manner, and the second folded edge 322 and the buckle 330 can both face the direction away from the compartment.
[0091] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned first folded edge 321 and the second folded edge 322, allows the connection between the buckle 330 and the pressed edge 320 to avoid the corner position, thereby reducing the stress on the connection between the buckle 330 and the pressed edge 320, and reducing the probability of breakage between the buckle 330 and the pressed edge 320, thereby extending the service life of the buckle 330.
[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 9-10 As shown, the bracket 200 may have a sink 220 , the through hole 210 may be connected to the sink 220 , and the second folded edge 322 may extend into the sink 220 .
[0093] In this embodiment, if Figure 9-10As shown, the notch of the groove 220 can be oriented toward the direction close to the compartment, the through hole 210 can pass through the entire bracket 200 and be connected to the groove 220. When the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are assembled, the second folded edge 322 can be located in the groove 220, a portion of the buckle 330 can be located in the through hole 210, and another portion of the buckle 330 can overlap and be pressed against the outer edge surface of the through hole 210.
[0094] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the limited assembly of the bracket 200 to the second folded edge 322 through the setting of the above-mentioned groove 220. On the basis of the snap fit between the buckle 330 and the outer edge of the through hole 210, the displacement of the buckle 330 is further limited, and at the same time, it also serves as a positioning prompt during assembly.
[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the buckle 330 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of buckles 330 can be connected to the pressing edge 320 , and the plurality of buckles 330 can be distributed at intervals.
[0096] Here, "plurality" means two or more than two. For example, in some embodiments, the number of buckles 330 can be eight.
[0097] In this embodiment, if Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, multiple buckles 330 can be distributed spaced apart in the up-down direction, and multiple buckles 330 can all be connected to the second folded edge 322, the groove 220 can be designed as a long groove that passes through the bracket 200 in the up-down direction, and multiple vias 210 can also be provided, and multiple vias 210 can be distributed spaced apart in the up-down direction, and multiple vias 210 are spaced apart and connected to the bottom of the groove 220.
[0098] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application further improves the connection strength through the provision of the above-mentioned multiple buckles 330, so that the connection between the interior panel 300 and the bracket 200 is more uniform, which can effectively prevent loosening or deformation caused by uneven force.
[0099] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the buckle 330 may include a first clamping section 331 and a second clamping section 332 connected to each other. The first clamping section 331 may be connected to the pressed edge 320 , and the width of the second clamping section 332 may be greater than the width of the first clamping section 331 .
[0100] In this embodiment, the first clamping section 331 can be connected to the middle position of the second clamping section 332, the width of the second clamping section 332 can be greater than the width of the first clamping section 331, the length of the first clamping section 331 can be greater than the length of the second clamping section 332, and the entire buckle 330 can be approximately T-shaped. In other words, the buckle 330 is designed to be a top-heavy structure, and the bending position of the buckle 330 is located at the first clamping section 331.
[0101] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned first clamping section 331 and the second clamping section 332, combined with the structural design that the width of the second clamping section 332 is greater than the width of the first clamping section 331, makes the first clamping section 331 easy to bend during processing, improves the curling performance of the first clamping section 331, and increases the clamping area between the second clamping section 332 and the outer edge of the through hole 210, thereby improving the connection strength between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300.
[0102] In some embodiments, the bracket 200 and the interior trim panel 300 may be connected by gluing.
[0103] The adhesive material used for gluing may include but is not limited to double-sided adhesive strips, instant glue or hot melt adhesive, etc., which are not limited here.
[0104] For example, in some embodiments, the bracket 200 and the interior trim panel 300 are bonded together using double-sided adhesive strips.
[0105] Specifically, the double-sided adhesive strip can be arranged along the edge of the bracket 200 between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300, thereby forming a sealing effect between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300; or, the double-sided adhesive strip can also be arranged only on one edge of the bracket 200, which can be an edge close to the buckle 330 or an edge away from the buckle 330.
[0106] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes double fixation between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 through the design of gluing the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300, based on the snap fit between the buckle 330 and the outer edge of the through hole 210, further enhancing the connection strength between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300, and at the same time realizing sealing between the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300, thereby improving the overall stability of the box.
[0107] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the box body may further include: embedded parts 400 .
[0108] The embedded part 400 can be installed in the inner liner 100, and the embedded part 400 can be configured to be pre-installed between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell before the insulation layer is formed. The inner liner 100 can have a clearance hole 110, and the embedded part 400 and the bracket 200 can be connected through the clearance hole 110. The interior panel 300 can be connected to the side of the bracket 200 away from the embedded part 400. The bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 can be configured to be assembled on the inner liner 100 after the insulation layer is formed.
[0109] The embedded part 400 can be made of plastic material. For example, in some embodiments, the material of the embedded part 400 can include but is not limited to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PU (Polyurethane), PS (Polystyrene) or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), etc., which is not limited here.
[0110] For example, in some embodiments, the embedded component 400 is made of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene).
[0111] In actual implementation, the assembly of the interior trim panel 300 on the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100 can be achieved in the following manner: before forming the insulation layer, the embedded part 400 is pre-installed between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell, that is, the embedded part 400 is installed on the outer surface of the inner liner 100, and then the foaming material is filled between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell. After the foaming material is cured to form the insulation layer, the embedded part 400 is not easy to move under the wrapping of the insulation layer. The interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200 can be assembled as a whole by snap-fitting and bonding. The assembly process of the interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. During assembly, the bracket 200 is oriented in a direction close to the embedded part 400. One of the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 can pass through the make way hole 110 of the inner liner 100 and be connected to the other, so that the interior trim panel 300 can cover at least part of the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100.
[0112] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the assembly process of the embedded parts 400, the interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200. The interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200 are assembled to form a whole, which is assembled to the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100 after the box body is foamed, so as to prevent the interior trim panel 300 from being squeezed and severely deformed during foaming, which affects its use, when assembled before foaming. In addition, the bracket 200 and the embedded parts 400 are used to indirectly assemble the interior trim panel 300 to the inner liner 100, which solves the material compatibility problem between the interior trim panel 300 and the inner liner 100. At the same time, the assembly process is simple and reliable, which is conducive to promotion and use.
[0113] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, both the left and right walls of the liner 100 are provided with interior panels 300 .
[0114] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, by covering the interior trim panel 300 only on the left and right walls, improves the maintainability of the box body and saves the amount of metal material to the greatest extent, thereby achieving cost control.
[0115] In some embodiments, Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall extends to the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the inner liner 100 at both ends in the up-down direction, and the interior panel 300 arranged on the right side wall extends to the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the inner liner 100 at both ends in the up-down direction. The interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall and the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall are connected end to end and are arranged symmetrically relative to the vertical plane.
[0116] In this embodiment, the junction of the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall and the interior panel 300 arranged on the right side wall is located in the middle of the upper side wall and the lower side wall, and the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall is approximately U-shaped and open to the right; the interior panel 300 arranged on the right side wall is approximately U-shaped and open to the left, and there is a face-symmetric relationship between the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall and the interior panel 300 arranged on the right side wall, and the symmetry planes of the two are vertical planes.
[0117] The specific method of connecting the interior panel 300 arranged on the left side wall and the interior panel 300 arranged on the right side wall may include splicing or overlapping, etc., which is not limited here.
[0118] For example, in some embodiments, the interior decoration panel 300 disposed on the left side wall and the interior decoration panel 300 disposed on the right side wall are connected by overlapping.
[0119] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural design of the above-mentioned two-plate assembly, forms a metallic feel on the overall visible side, which helps to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the interior of the storage device, while increasing the flatness of the inner liner 100 after covering the interior panel 300, and reducing the number of joints as much as possible, simplifying the assembly process, thereby speeding up production.
[0120] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner container 100 defines a first installation space 170 for installing a drawer, and the interior trim panel 300 is connected to the first installation space 170 along the up-down direction.
[0121] like Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the partition 900 can divide the compartment into a first installation space 170 and a second installation space 180 spaced apart and distributed in the up and down directions, the drawer can be slidably installed in the first installation space 170, and the interior panel 300 can be arranged adjacent to the first installation space 170, so that the interior panel 300 may not interfere with the drawer.
[0122] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural setting of the above-mentioned interior panel 300 connected with the first installation space 170, realizes that the interior panel 300 extends downward to the position that can be just covered by the partition 900 and the drawer to adapt to the drawer. The use of this structure can reduce the interference between the interior panel 300 and the drawer without affecting the normal assembly of the drawer, while covering other parts of the wall that do not contact the drawer as much as possible.
[0123] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner liner 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 arranged on the left and right walls are each provided with a mounting frame 800, which is arranged close to the back wall of the inner liner 100 for connecting to one end of the shelf.
[0124] In actual implementation, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting frame 800 can be designed as a vertical beam structure, and a number of mounting holes can be drilled at intervals on the vertical beam structure. The shapes of the mounting holes can include but are not limited to circular, waist-shaped or square, etc. A shelf can be provided with one or more. When installing the shelf, the mounting holes in different positions can be selected according to actual needs to change the position of the shelf in the second installation space 180 or the distance between adjacent shelves. The two ends of the rear side of the shelf in the left and right directions can be respectively connected to the mounting frames 800 on the left and right sides, and the front side of the shelf can be suspended in the air to form a cantilever structure.
[0125] The connection method between the mounting bracket 800 and the interior trim panel 300 may include but is not limited to threaded connection, clamping or bonding, etc., which is not limited here.
[0126] For example, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 800 and the interior trim panel 300 are connected by bonding.
[0127] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes cantilever installation of the shelf through the arrangement of the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the installation frame 800. The installation method is simple, and there is no need to perform complex processing and design on the interior panel 300, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of the interior panel 300. At the same time, it allows the user to freely set the preservation space according to needs, and provides more layers for adjustment. The user does not need to take out the shelf, and can flexibly adjust it according to the placement requirements of the food. The cantilever shelf has strong stability and load-bearing capacity, and can safely carry heavier items without worrying about deformation or falling off of the shelf.
[0128] In some embodiments, the inner tank 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 disposed on the left and right walls are both provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are used to support the shelf for storage devices.
[0129] In actual implementation, the protrusion can be a part of the interior panel 300. In other words, when the interior panel 300 is processed by sheet metal, a rib structure is designed at the corresponding position to form a protrusion. The two side edges of the partition 900 along the left and right directions can be overlapped with the upper wall surfaces of the protrusions on the left and right sides respectively, and one shelf can be set or multiple shelves can be set.
[0130] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the side support installation of the shelf through the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the setting of the protrusion, which effectively enhances the overall stability of the shelf. The shelf is not easy to shake or deform when carrying items, thereby improving the safety of the storage device. At the same time, the use of this structure can make full use of the side space of the inner liner 100, so that the storage area of the compartment is maximized, which is particularly beneficial for storing items with larger volume or irregular shape, and can effectively meet the user's diverse storage needs. In addition, since there is a certain gap between the shelf and the side of the inner liner 100, it makes it easier to clean the inside of the storage device.
[0131] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the left side wall, right side wall, upper side wall and lower side wall of the inner liner 100 are all provided with interior panels 300, and the interior panel 300 provided on the left side wall, the interior panel 300 provided on the upper side wall, the interior panel 300 provided on the right side wall and the interior panel 300 provided on the lower side wall are connected in sequence end to end.
[0132] The widths of two adjacent interior panels 300 at the overlapped portion are matched, and the overlapped position of two adjacent interior panels 300 is close to the connection between the corresponding inner side walls.
[0133] The specific method of connecting two adjacent interior panels 300 may include splicing or overlapping, which is not limited here.
[0134] For example, in some embodiments, two adjacent interior panels 300 are connected by overlapping.
[0135] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural design of the above-mentioned four-plate assembly, realizes that all the interior panels 300 of the inner wall are connected end to end to form a frame structure to cover at least part of each side wall, thereby forming a metallic feel on the overall visible side, which helps to maintain the cleanliness of the interior of the storage device, and at the same time further increases the flatness of the inner liner 100 after covering the interior panels 300.
[0136] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the back wall of the inner container 100 is provided with an interior panel 300 .
[0137] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application achieves proper covering of the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100 by the metal plate by arranging the interior panels 300 on the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100, thereby alleviating the problem of cracking and discoloration and yellowing of the plastic inner liner 100 after long-term use, optimizing the antibacterial performance of the entire box body, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0138] In some embodiments, the interior trim panel 300 disposed on the back wall has air holes, and the air holes are used to connect the air supply duct between the compartment and the storage device.
[0139] In this embodiment, the box body may further include an air duct cover and an air duct enclosure, which may define an air supply duct. The air duct cover may be installed in the compartment, the interior panel 300 may cover the air duct cover, an air outlet may be provided on the front of the air duct cover, a plurality of air holes may be provided at positions opposite to the air outlet on the interior panel 300, and the cold air from the air supply duct may be successively delivered into the compartment through the air outlet of the air duct and the air holes of the interior panel 300.
[0140] The shape of the air hole may include but is not limited to round, square or irregular shapes, etc., which is not limited here.
[0141] For example, in some embodiments, the air hole is circular in shape.
[0142] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the arrangement of the above-mentioned air holes. The interior panel 300 based on the metal material has excellent thermal conductivity, which can more effectively transfer and disperse the cold, making the temperature distribution inside the storage device more uniform. At the same time, the interior panel 300 has good durability and high temperature resistance to resist deformation and damage, thereby extending the service life of the storage device, and the interior panel 300 can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, thereby creating a more hygienic and healthy storage environment.
[0143] In some embodiments, the box body further includes: an air duct cover.
[0144] The air duct cover is installed between the back wall and the interior trim panel 300 arranged on the back wall, and an air outlet is arranged on the side of the air duct cover.
[0145] In this embodiment, the interior trim panel 300 may only cover the front side of the air duct cover plate, but not the side of the air duct cover plate, and the cold air from the air supply duct may be delivered into the compartment through the air outlet of the duct.
[0146] In other embodiments, the interior panel 300 can cover the front and sides of the air duct cover plate, and the interior panel 300 has air holes on the sides facing the air outlets, so that the cold air from the air supply duct can be delivered into the compartment through the air outlets of the air duct and the air holes of the interior panel 300.
[0147] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior trim panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the design of the side air outlet of the air duct cover. The side air outlet makes it difficult for oil, dirt and impurities to enter the air duct cover, thereby reducing corrosion and pollution to the box body. At the same time, the interior trim panel 300 with a non-porous structure increases its own structural strength and simplifies the production process of the interior trim panel 300, which is conducive to mass production.
[0148] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the box also includes: a light source assembly 700.
[0149] The light source assembly 700 includes a surface light source 710 . The light source assembly 700 is installed on the inner container 100 , and the light source assembly 700 is located between the left wall of the inner container 100 and the right wall of the inner container 100 .
[0150] It can be understood that since the layout of the light source assembly 700 is the key to the design, a reasonable layout can ensure that the surface light source 710 evenly illuminates every corner of the room to avoid shadows or dark areas. If the surface light source 710 is set on the interior panel 300, its lighting range is very limited and it is impossible to evenly illuminate the entire room. Therefore, in actual practice, the light source assembly 700 is placed between the left side wall and the upper side wall, that is, between the left and right interior panels 300. In this way, the interior panel 300 will not interfere with or negatively affect the surface light source 710 during assembly, and based on the good reflectivity of the interior panel 300, when the surface light source 710 illuminates the room, the surfaces of the left and right interior panels 300 can evenly reflect light, thereby maximizing the lighting effect of the surface light source 710.
[0151] It should be noted that the surface light source 710 is selected as the lighting device in the present application. First, the surface light source 710 provides uniform and soft lighting, which not only ensures that every corner inside the storage device is evenly illuminated to avoid shadows or dark areas, but also helps users to clearly see the items in the storage device for easy access; second, the surface light source 710 usually has higher energy efficiency. Compared with traditional lighting devices, such as incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps, the surface light source 710 can more effectively convert electrical energy into visible light and reduce energy consumption; third, the surface light source 710 usually has a longer lifespan, and the storage device does not need to frequently replace lighting equipment during use, thereby reducing maintenance costs; fourth, the surface light source 710 also has anti-vibration and cold-resistant properties, and can work normally in low temperature environments without being restricted by extreme cold weather.
[0152] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application reduces the interference in the position layout of the interior panel 300 and the surface light source 710 through the adaptation design between the above-mentioned interior panel 300 and the surface light source 710. The interior panel 300 more effectively reflects and distributes the light emitted by the surface light source 710, reduces the generation of shadows and dark areas, and makes the interior of the storage device brighter and clearer. At the same time, the inner liner 100 covered with the interior panel 300 has a fast cooling speed and small temperature fluctuation, which helps to maintain the stable operation of the surface light source 710 and reduce the impact of temperature changes on the surface light source 710. In addition, the interior panel 300 extends downward to the position that the partition 900 and the drawer can just cover to adapt to the drawer. The use of this structure can reduce the interference between the interior panel 300 and the drawer without affecting the normal assembly of the drawer, while covering other parts of the wall that do not contact the drawer as much as possible.
[0153] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the light source assembly 700 may further include: a fixing frame 720 .
[0154] The surface light source 710 can be installed on the inner container 100 through a fixing frame 720 .
[0155] The fixing frame 720 may include a plurality of fixing beam structures, and the plurality of fixing beams may be connected to the inner liner 100 and connected to each other to form a frame structure.
[0156] The material of the fixing frame 720 may include but is not limited to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PC (Polycarbonate), stainless steel or aluminum alloy, etc., which is not limited here.
[0157] For example, in some embodiments, the material of the fixing frame 720 is ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).
[0158] Taking into account that the load-bearing capacity and surface flatness of the plastic inner liner 100 are average, in order to optimize the fixing effect of the surface light source 710 and extend its service life, a fixing frame 720 is introduced in the actual design to assist the surface light source 710 in assembly. Specifically, after being fixedly assembled on the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100, the surface light source 710 can be installed on the side of the fixing frame 720 close to the compartment by gluing or other connection methods, that is, the surface light source 710 does not directly contact the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100.
[0159] The assembly method of the fixing frame 720 and the inner liner 100 may include but is not limited to a snap connection 330 , a bolt connection or an adhesive connection, etc., which is not limited here.
[0160] For example, in some embodiments, the fixing frame 720 and the liner 100 are assembled by a snap-fit connection 330 .
[0161] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application can stably install the surface light source 710 on the inner liner 100 through the setting of the above-mentioned fixing frame 720 to provide a uniform and soft lighting effect for the interior of the storage device. At the same time, due to the adjustability of the fixing frame 720, the illumination range and brightness of the surface light source 710 can be adjusted as needed to meet the lighting needs in different scenes.
[0162] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 720 may have a wiring port, and the cables of the surface light source 710 may be led out through the wiring port.
[0163] In actual implementation, the location of the wiring port should be selected in a place that is convenient for cable extraction, and the number should also be determined according to actual needs to ensure that the extraction requirements of all cables can be met; the size of the wiring port should be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cable to ensure that the cable can pass smoothly. The shape can be round, square or other suitable shapes, selected according to actual conditions; in order to ensure the sealing inside the storage device and prevent the cable from being affected by the external environment, the wiring port should have a certain sealing performance, and materials such as sealing pads and sealants can be used to ensure a good seal between the cable and the wiring port; the design of the wiring port also needs to take safety factors into consideration to avoid safety accidents such as electric shock during use. Insulating materials can be used to make the wiring port, or insulating sleeves can be added after the cable is extracted.
[0164] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned wiring port, allows the cables of the surface light source 710 to be conveniently led out through the fixing bracket 720, thereby avoiding the cables from being exposed in a disorderly manner inside the storage device, which not only improves the overall aesthetics, but also enhances the convenience and safety of use.
[0165] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the light source assembly 700 can be mounted on the upper side wall.
[0166] It should be noted that, when the light source assembly 700 is installed on the upper side wall, the fixing frame 720 should be designed to be light and sturdy so that it can be easily installed on the upper side wall and be able to bear the weight of the surface light source 710. At the same time, the wiring port should be located on the side or rear of the fixing frame 720 so that the cables can be easily led out without obstructing other components or storage space inside the storage device. The wiring port can also be designed to be rotatable or adjustable to meet the needs of cable lead-out in different directions; and in order to ensure that the interior of the storage device is neat and tidy, a cable bundle or cable groove can be set on the fixing frame 720 to neatly fix the cables together to avoid the cables being scattered in a disorderly manner inside the storage device.
[0167] It can be understood that when the surface light source 710 is installed on the upper side wall of the inner tank 100, the surface light source 710 can provide uniform and soft lighting for the interior of the storage device, and both the stored food and the structural details of the storage device can be clearly seen, making it convenient for users to find and retrieve items; at the same time, the top installation method can maximize the use of the internal space, and users can make full use of the storage device to store food and other items; and users can find the required items more easily, reducing the time of groping in the dark, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of use.
[0168] In some embodiments, the light source assembly 700 can be mounted on a back wall.
[0169] It is understandable that when the surface light source 710 is installed on the back wall of the inner liner 100, the light is evenly irradiated from the back to the inside of the storage device, forming a soft and uniform lighting environment. This lighting method can reduce shadows and lighting dead angles, so that the items inside the storage device can be fully illuminated no matter where they are placed, which is convenient for users to find and use; at the same time, the back installation method can avoid occupying the storage space inside the storage device to the greatest extent, and the back installation is more concealed, which will not interfere with the user's use of the internal space of the storage device; and the surface light source 710 usually has a higher energy efficiency and can use electrical energy more effectively. Installed on the back of the inner liner 100, the propagation and distribution of light can be better controlled to reduce energy waste; in addition, the surface light source 710 installed on the back is relatively concealed, not easily disturbed and damaged by external factors, and users can use the light source for a longer time without frequent replacement or maintenance. When cleaning the inside of the storage device, there will be no additional cleaning burden due to the presence of the surface light source 710.
[0170] The application also discloses a storage device.
[0171] In some embodiments, the storage device includes: a door body and any one of the boxes described above.
[0172] The door body is installed on the box body in an openable and closable manner, and is used to close the compartment of the box body.
[0173] The box body and the door body are connected by a hinge, and the door body can be rotated around the box body by the hinge to open and close the box body.
[0174] The storage device may include but is not limited to a refrigerator, a vending cabinet, a vending machine, a retail cabinet, a storage cabinet, a display cabinet, a wine cabinet or a courier cabinet.
[0175] The storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the assembly between the interior panel 300 and the bracket 200 through the setting of the above-mentioned box body, and the buckle 330 can be installed through simple mechanical operations, such as bending, folding or snapping, so that the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 can be quickly and firmly assembled into one, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and facilitating the subsequent installation of the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 on the inner liner 100. At the same time, with the bendable sheet structure design, it can be bent into different shapes according to actual needs to adapt to complex connection conditions. In addition, based on the small and light weight of the buckle 330 and the convenience of mass production, the overall miniaturization and lightweight design are realized while saving manufacturing costs.
[0176] The application also discloses a box body, which is applied to storage equipment.
[0177] In some embodiments, the box body includes: an outer shell, an inner liner 100 , an insulation layer, embedded parts 400 , a bracket 200 and an interior trim panel 300 .
[0178] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the inner liner 100 is installed in the outer shell, the inner liner 100 forms a compartment, and the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100 has a groove 130 that is recessed in the direction away from the compartment; the thermal insulation layer is located between the outer shell and the inner liner 100; the embedded part 400 is installed in the inner liner 100, and the embedded part 400 is located between the outer shell and the inner liner 100; the bracket 200 is installed in the groove 130, and the bottom of the groove 130 is provided with a clearance hole 110, and the bracket 200 is connected to the embedded part 400 through the clearance hole 110; the interior trim panel 300 is made of metal, and the interior trim panel 300 is connected to the side of the bracket 200 away from the embedded part 400.
[0179] The groove 130 may be a part of the inner liner 100 , and the inner liner 100 may be manufactured by a vacuum forming process. The processing methods of the clearance hole 110 may include but are not limited to punching, mechanical drilling or laser drilling, etc., which are not limited here.
[0180] For example, in some embodiments, the clearance hole 110 is processed by punching.
[0181] It is understandable that if the inner wall of the inner tank does not have a groove, that is, the wall on which the interior panel is installed is a flat and continuous plane, the bracket and the interior panel will protrude from the inner wall of the inner tank, causing the plastic bracket to be exposed in the compartment. The bracket is prone to cracking after long-term use, and there will also be dead angles between other structures and the protruding bracket and interior panel, which will accumulate dirt over a long period of time and be difficult to clean and maintain.
[0182] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned groove 130, allows the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 to be at least partially accommodated in the groove 130, thereby increasing the flatness of the bracket 200, the interior panel 300 and the inner liner 100 after being matched, reducing the exposed area of the bracket 200, and reducing the probability of cracking of the bracket 200, thereby extending the service life of the bracket 200. At the same time, the cleaning dead corners formed by the protruding bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 and other structures are reduced as much as possible, thereby improving the maintainability of the entire box.
[0183] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the surface of the bracket 200 facing away from the embedded part 400 can be flush with the surface of the inner container 100 close to the outer edge of the groove 130 .
[0184] In this embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, the bracket 200 can be embedded in the groove 130. In other words, the height of the bracket 200 can be equal to the depth of the groove 130. The bracket 200 as a whole does not protrude from the groove 130. The groove 130 can be designed and processed according to the shape of the bracket 200. The notch position of the groove 130 can be designed with a guide portion, and the guide portion can be arc-shaped, so that the assembly of the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 is smoother.
[0185] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structural design in which the surface of the bracket 200 facing away from the embedded part 400 is flush with the surface of the outer edge of the inner liner 100 close to the groove 130, so that the bracket 200 as a whole does not protrude from the groove 130, and an accurate and proper fitting relationship is formed between the bracket 200 and the inner liner 100, further reducing the probability of cracking and discoloration and yellowing of the bracket 200 due to exposure, making the appearance of the entire box more neat and beautiful.
[0186] In some embodiments, the surface of the interior trim panel 300 facing away from the bracket 200 may be flush with the surface of the inner container 100 close to the outer edge of the groove 130 .
[0187] In this embodiment, the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 can be embedded in the groove 130. In other words, the height of the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 can be equal to the depth of the groove 130, and the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 does not protrude from the groove 130. The groove 130 can be designed and processed according to the shape of the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300. A guide portion can be designed at the notch position of the groove 130, and the guide portion can be arc-shaped, so that the assembly of the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 is smoother.
[0188] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structural design in which the surface of the interior trim panel 300 facing away from the bracket 200 can be flush with the surface of the outer edge of the inner liner 100 close to the groove 130, so that the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior trim panel 300 does not protrude from the groove 130, and an accurate and proper fitting relationship is formed between the bracket 200 and the interior trim panel 300 and the inner liner 100, thereby maximizing the flatness of the bracket 200, the interior trim panel 300 and the inner liner 100 after being matched, and further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the box.
[0189] In some embodiments, Figure 12-13 and Figure 20-21 As shown, the bracket 200 may be provided with a first connection structure on one side close to the embedded part 400 , and the embedded part 400 may be provided with a second connection structure connected to the first connection structure, and one of the first connection structure and the second connection structure may pass through the clearance hole 110 .
[0190] In this embodiment, the first connection structure can pass through the clearance hole 110 and then cooperate with the second connection structure.
[0191] In other embodiments, the second connection structure may pass through the clearance hole 110 and then cooperate with the first connection structure.
[0192] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes a firm connection between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 through the setting of the above-mentioned first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, combined with the avoidance effect of the give way hole 110, and at least a part of the inner liner 100 can be clamped between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400, thereby realizing the indirect assembly of the interior decoration panel 300 on the inner liner 100.
[0193] In some embodiments, Figure 17-Figure 19 As shown, the first connection structure may include a plug connector 230 , and the second connection structure may include a slot 410 . The plug connector 230 may be plugged into the slot 410 .
[0194] In this embodiment, if Figure 17-Figure 19As shown, the connector 230 is a male plug for plug-in fitting, and the slot 410 is a female plug-in fitting. The connector 230 can pass through the clearance hole 110 of the inner liner 100 and then be plug-fitted with the slot 410. A plurality of connectors 230 and slots 410 can be provided, and a plurality of connectors 230 can be distributed spaced apart in the up and down directions. Correspondingly, a plurality of slots 410 can be distributed spaced apart in the up and down directions. The connector 230 can be designed as a hook-shaped structure. Specifically, the hook body of the hook-shaped structure can be pressed against at least a portion of the wall of the slot 410, thereby forming a plug-fitting relationship.
[0195] It should be noted that the connector 230 may also be designed in other shapes, such as a claw shape or a flange shape, etc., which is not limited here.
[0196] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application can achieve quick connection and disconnection through the arrangement of the above-mentioned connector 230 and the slot 410, which is very convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts. Compared with welding or bonding, it reduces production costs and potential maintenance problems. In addition, by utilizing a cleverly designed locking mechanism, the plug-in fit can better maintain the stability and reliability of the combination of the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400, and prevent accidental disconnection or falling off.
[0197] In some embodiments, Figure 18-19 As shown, the embedded part 400 may be provided with a boss 420 , and the surface of the boss 420 facing away from the bracket 200 may form at least a part of the side wall of the slot 410 , and the plug-in component 230 may abut against the boss 420 .
[0198] In this embodiment, after the connector 230 is inserted into the slot 410 along the front-to-back direction, the connector 230 can stop at the side of the boss 420 close to the bottom of the slot 410. In order to enhance the structural strength of the boss 420, a reinforcing structure can be provided on the side of the boss 420 away from the bottom of the slot 410.
[0199] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the provision of the above-mentioned boss 420, when the connector 230 abuts against the boss 420, the boss 420 can restrict the connector 230 in the slot 410, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection and facilitating assembly and disassembly.
[0200] In some embodiments, Figure 14-16 As shown, the first connection structure may include a first hook 240 , and the second connection structure may include a second hook 430 . The first hook 240 may be engaged with the second hook 430 .
[0201] In this embodiment, if Figure 14-16As shown, the second hook 430 can penetrate the clearance hole 110 of the inner liner 100 and then engage with the first hook 240. The hook bodies of the first hook 240 and the second hook 430 can be set in opposite directions, so that the first hook 240 and the second hook 430 can be locked to form a snap-fitting relationship. A plurality of first hooks 240 and second hooks 430 can be provided, and a plurality of first hooks 240 can be distributed spaced apart in the up and down directions. Correspondingly, a plurality of second hooks 430 can be distributed spaced apart in the up and down directions. In order to enhance the structural strength of the first hooks 240 and the second hooks 430, a reinforcing structure can be provided on the sides of the first hooks 240 and the second hooks 430.
[0202] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the snap-fitting between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 through the arrangement of the first hook 240 and the second hook 430. The structure is simple and convenient to use and easy to install and disassemble.
[0203] In some embodiments, Figure 12-Figure 19 As shown, the embedded part 400 may include a plurality of embedded parts 400 spaced apart and distributed along the front-to-back direction. The second connection structure of the embedded part 400 located on the front side and the corresponding first connection structure may be plug-in fitting structures, and the second connection structure of the embedded part 400 located on the rear side and the corresponding first connection structure may be snap-fitting structures. The installation directions of the plug-fitting structure and the snap-fitting structure may intersect.
[0204] like Figure 12-Figure 19 As shown, the embedded part 400 may include a first embedded part 400a and a second embedded part 400b spaced apart and distributed along the front-to-back direction, the second connection structure of the first embedded part 400a may be a slot 410, the first connection structure of the bracket 200 corresponding to the first embedded part 400a may be a connector 230, the second connection structure of the second embedded part 400b may be a second hook 430, and the first connection structure of the bracket 200 corresponding to the second embedded part 400b may be a first hook 240.
[0205] The connector 230 may be designed as a hook-shaped structure, and the hook of the connector 230 may be oriented opposite to the hook of the first hook 240 . Specifically, the hook of the hook-shaped structure may face forward, and the hook of the first hook 240 may face backward.
[0206] In actual implementation, Figure 12-Figure 19As shown, taking the bracket 200, the first embedded part 400a and the second embedded part 400b as an example, during the assembly process of the bracket 200, the first embedded part 400a and the second embedded part 400b, the connector 230 located on the front side of the bracket 200 can be plugged into the slot 410 located on the first embedded part 400a in the front-to-back direction, and the first hook 240 located on the rear side of the bracket 200 can be engaged with the second hook 430 located on the second embedded part 400b along the left-to-right direction, thereby limiting and fixing the bracket 200 and the interior trim panel 300 connected to the bracket 200 in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction.
[0207] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, the present application adopts a connection scheme of front side plug-in and rear side clamping. The front and rear side connection schemes between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 may include but are not limited to front side clamping and rear side clamping, front side screw connection and rear side clamping, front side plug-in and rear side differential plug-in, or front side plug-in and rear side screw connection and other combination schemes.
[0208] For example, in some embodiments, Figure 20-23 As shown, the first embedded component 400a is provided with a first hook 240 and a connector 230, and the second embedded component 400b is provided with a first hook 240.
[0209] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned plug-in fitting structure and the snap-fitting structure, combined with the design of the intersection of the installation directions of the plug-in fitting structure and the snap-fitting structure, realizes the plug-in connection of the front side of the bracket 200 with the embedded part 400 at the corresponding position and the snap-fit connection of the rear side of the bracket 200 with the embedded part 400 at the corresponding position, and limits and fixes the bracket 200 and the interior decoration panel 300 connected to the bracket 200 in two different directions, preventing the bracket 200 and the interior decoration panel 300 from loosening under long-term use, thereby improving the stability and durability of the bracket 200 and the interior decoration panel 300.
[0210] In some embodiments, Figure 8 , Fig.12 and Fig. 20 As shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 250 may be provided on one side of the bracket 200 close to the embedded part 400 , and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 250 may be arranged in a grid shape.
[0211] It can be understood that since the side of the bracket 200 close to the embedded part 400 needs to be connected to the embedded part 400, this side is a high stress area of the entire bracket 200. During the design, multiple reinforcing ribs 250 are arranged in a grid shape and evenly arranged on the side of the bracket 200 close to the embedded part 400. During processing, the reinforcing ribs 250 can be integrally injection molded as a part of the bracket 200. The reinforcing ribs 250 can be designed to be straight lines, curves or other geometric shapes to adapt to different structural requirements and space limitations.
[0212] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned multiple reinforcing ribs 250 and the grid-like shape design, provides uniform support for the bracket 200, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the bracket 200 in the most effective way and prevent the bracket 200 from deformation or damage during use.
[0213] In some embodiments, the embedded part 400 is configured to be pre-installed between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell before the thermal insulation layer is formed, and the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 are configured to be assembled on the inner liner 100 after the thermal insulation layer is formed.
[0214] The assembly method of the interior trim panel 300 on the inner wall surface of the inner tank 100 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0215] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the assembly process of the embedded parts 400, the interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200. The interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200 are assembled to form a whole, which is assembled to the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100 after the box body is foamed, so as to prevent the interior trim panel 300 from being squeezed and severely deformed during foaming, which affects its use, when assembled before foaming. In addition, the bracket 200 and the embedded parts 400 are used to indirectly assemble the interior trim panel 300 to the inner liner 100, which solves the material compatibility problem between the interior trim panel 300 and the inner liner 100. At the same time, the assembly process is simple and reliable, which is conducive to promotion and use.
[0216] In some embodiments, both the left and right walls of the liner 100 are provided with interior panels 300 .
[0217] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, by covering the interior trim panel 300 only on the left and right walls, improves the maintainability of the box body and saves the amount of metal material to the greatest extent, thereby achieving cost control.
[0218] In some embodiments, the inner container 100 defines a first installation space 170 for installing a drawer, and the interior trim panel 300 is connected to the first installation space 170 along the up-down direction.
[0219] The partition 900 can divide the compartment into a first installation space 170 and a second installation space 180 spaced apart in the up and down directions. The drawer can be slidably installed in the first installation space 170, and the interior panel 300 can be arranged adjacent to the first installation space 170, so that the interior panel 300 may not interfere with the drawer.
[0220] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural setting of the above-mentioned interior panel 300 connected with the first installation space 170, realizes that the interior panel 300 extends downward to the position that can be just covered by the partition 900 and the drawer to adapt to the drawer. The use of this structure can reduce the interference between the interior panel 300 and the drawer without affecting the normal assembly of the drawer, while covering other parts of the wall that do not contact the drawer as much as possible.
[0221] In some embodiments, the inner liner 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 arranged on the left and right walls are each provided with a mounting frame 800, which is arranged close to the back wall of the inner liner 100 for connecting to one end of the shelf.
[0222] The assembly method of the cantilever shelf has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0223] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes cantilever installation of the shelf through the arrangement of the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the installation frame 800. The installation method is simple, and there is no need to perform complex processing and design on the interior panel 300, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of the interior panel 300. At the same time, it allows the user to freely set the preservation space according to needs, and provides more layers for adjustment. The user does not need to take out the shelf, and can flexibly adjust it according to the placement requirements of the food. The cantilever shelf has strong stability and load-bearing capacity, and can safely carry heavier items without worrying about deformation or falling off of the shelf.
[0224] In some embodiments, the inner tank 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 disposed on the left and right walls are both provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are used to support the shelf for storage devices.
[0225] The assembly method of the side support shelf has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0226] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the side support installation of the shelf through the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the setting of the protrusion, which effectively enhances the overall stability of the shelf. The shelf is not easy to shake or deform when carrying items, thereby improving the safety of the storage device. At the same time, the use of this structure can make full use of the side space of the inner liner 100, so that the storage area of the compartment is maximized, which is particularly beneficial for storing items with larger volume or irregular shape, and can effectively meet the user's diverse storage needs. In addition, since there is a certain gap between the shelf and the side of the inner liner 100, it makes it easier to clean the inside of the storage device.
[0227] In some embodiments, the back wall of the liner 100 is provided with an interior panel 300 .
[0228] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application achieves proper covering of the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100 by the metal plate by arranging the interior panels 300 on the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100, thereby alleviating the problem of cracking and discoloration and yellowing of the plastic inner liner 100 after long-term use, optimizing the antibacterial performance of the entire box body, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0229] In some embodiments, the interior trim panel 300 disposed on the back wall has air holes, and the air holes are used to connect the air supply duct between the compartment and the storage device.
[0230] The specific implementation method of front air supply has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0231] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the arrangement of the above-mentioned air holes. The interior panel 300 based on the metal material has excellent thermal conductivity, which can more effectively transfer and disperse the cold, making the temperature distribution inside the storage device more uniform. At the same time, the interior panel 300 has good durability and high temperature resistance to resist deformation and damage, thereby extending the service life of the storage device, and the interior panel 300 can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, thereby creating a more hygienic and healthy storage environment.
[0232] In some embodiments, the box body further includes: an air duct cover.
[0233] The specific implementation method of side air supply has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0234] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior trim panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the design of the side air outlet of the air duct cover. The side air outlet makes it difficult for oil, dirt and impurities to enter the air duct cover, thereby reducing corrosion and pollution to the box body. At the same time, the interior trim panel 300 with a non-porous structure increases its own structural strength and simplifies the production process of the interior trim panel 300, which is conducive to mass production.
[0235] The application also discloses a storage device.
[0236] In some embodiments, the storage device includes: a door body and any one of the boxes described above.
[0237] The door body is installed on the box body in an openable and closable manner, and is used to close the compartment of the box body.
[0238] The box body and the door body are connected by a hinge, and the door body can be rotated around the box body by the hinge to open and close the box body.
[0239] The storage device may include but is not limited to a refrigerator, a vending cabinet, a vending machine, a retail cabinet, a storage cabinet, a display cabinet, a wine cabinet or a courier cabinet.
[0240] The storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the setting of the above-mentioned box body and the setting of the above-mentioned groove 130, can make the whole assembled by the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 at least partially accommodated in the groove 130, thereby increasing the flatness of the bracket 200, the interior panel 300 and the inner liner 100 after being matched, reducing the exposed area of the bracket 200, and reducing the probability of cracking of the bracket 200, thereby extending the service life of the bracket 200, while minimizing the cleaning dead corners formed by the protruding bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 and other structures, thereby improving the maintainability of the entire box.
[0241] The application also discloses a box body, which is applied to storage equipment.
[0242] In some embodiments, the box body includes: an outer shell, an inner liner 100 , an insulation layer, embedded parts 400 , a bracket 200 and an interior trim panel 300 .
[0243] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the inner liner 100 is installed in the outer shell, the inner liner 100 forms a compartment, and the inner liner 100 is provided with a first avoidance hole 140; the thermal insulation layer is located between the outer shell and the inner liner 100; the embedded part 400 is installed in the inner liner 100, and the embedded part 400 is located between the outer shell and the inner liner 100, and a first elastic part 500 is provided on the side of the embedded part 400 close to the compartment, and the first elastic part 500 passes through the first avoidance hole 140; the bracket 200 is installed on the inner side wall of the inner liner 100, and the bracket 200 is connected to the embedded part 400; the interior trim panel 300 is made of metal, and the interior trim panel 300 is connected to the side of the bracket 200 away from the embedded part 400, wherein the first elastic part 500 elastically stops the bracket 200 in the direction close to the interior trim panel 300.
[0244] The first elastic member 500 can be a part of the embedded member 400 and can be manufactured by integral injection molding.
[0245] The first elastic member 500 may be made of a plastic material with good elasticity and fatigue resistance. Specifically, the material of the first elastic member 500 may include but is not limited to PP (Polypropylene), PC (Polycarbonate) or PU (Polyurethane), etc., which is not limited here.
[0246] For example, in some embodiments, the first elastic member 500 is made of PP (Polypropylene).
[0247] In actual implementation, Figure 17-Figure 19 and Figure 21-23As shown, after the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 are connected by snap-fitting or other means, since the detachable connection method has limited effect in preventing loosening, the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 still have great mobility in the left and right directions. Taking into account the interference of the above-mentioned unfavorable factors, the first elastic member 500 is integrated on the side of the embedded part 400 close to the compartment during design. The first elastic member 500 can elastically stop the bracket 200 in the direction close to the interior trim panel 300, thereby tensioning the bracket 200 in this direction.
[0248] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes tensioning between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 in the left-right direction through the arrangement of the above-mentioned first elastic member 500. The first elastic member 500 pushes on the bracket 200 to generate the required tensioning force, so that the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 can maintain a certain tightness and stability after assembly, preventing loosening or displacement between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400, thereby improving the reliability and structural stability of the entire box.
[0249] In some embodiments, Figure 17-Figure 19 and Figure 21-23 As shown, one end of the first elastic member 500 may be connected to the embedded member 400 , and the other end of the first elastic member 500 may be suspended.
[0250] like Figure 17-Figure 19 and Figure 21-23 As shown, the first elastic member 500 can be designed as a spring sheet structure. Based on the fact that the first elastic member 500 is a cantilever structure with one end suspended and the other end fixed, the free end of the first elastic member 500 has high elasticity. In other words, when the first elastic member 500 is elastically compressed between the bracket 200 and the embedded member 400, the first elastic member 500 is deformed to form a good tensioning effect on the bracket 200. When the bracket 200 and the embedded member 400 are disassembled and separated, the first elastic member 500 will return to its original state.
[0251] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured as a cantilever structure with one end fixed and the other end suspended through the above-mentioned first elastic member 500, so that the first elastic member 500 can maintain a stable tensioning force when subjected to external force. The use of this structure allows the first elastic member 500 to evenly distribute the tension, thereby avoiding excessive stress concentration at the force-bearing point and maintaining a long-lasting and stable tensioning effect.
[0252] In some embodiments, Figure 17-Figure 19 and Figure 21-23As shown, the first elastic member 500 includes a first elastic section 510 and a first thrust section 520 that are connected to each other. The first thrust section 520 is bent relative to the first elastic section 510. The first elastic section 510 is connected to the embedded component 400, and the first elastic section 510 is tilted relative to the embedded component 400. The first thrust section 520 is suspended, and the first thrust section 520 stops at the bracket 200. The thickness of the first thrust section 520 can be greater than the thickness of the first elastic section 510.
[0253] The inclination direction of the first elastic section 510 may include the front, the rear or other directions, which is not limited here.
[0254] A plurality of first elastic members 500 may be provided, and the plurality of first elastic members 500 may be spaced apart and distributed in the up-down direction.
[0255] It can be understood that the thicker design of the first thrust segment 520 can provide stronger rigidity and load-bearing capacity, so that the first thrust segment 520 can withstand greater tensioning force without being easily deformed, maintain the durability and stability of the tensioning force, and at the same time improve the stress distribution inside the first elastic member 500. The thicker first thrust segment 520 can disperse stress and reduce the possibility of stress concentration, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the spring piece, while the thinner first elastic segment 510 allows the first elastic member 500 to be more easily elastically deformed when subjected to external force, thereby better adapting to different tensioning requirements. This deformation characteristic enables the first elastic member 500 to be fine-tuned as needed, providing more flexible and accurate tensioning control.
[0256] In some embodiments, Figure 14-16 As shown, the box body may further include: a second elastic member 600 .
[0257] The second elastic member 600 can be arranged on a side of the embedded part 400 close to the bracket 200, and the second elastic member 600 can be separated from the first elastic member 500. The inner liner 100 can be provided with a second avoidance hole 150. The second elastic member 600 can pass through the second avoidance hole 150. The second elastic member 600 can elastically push the bracket 200 toward the opening close to the inner liner 100.
[0258] The second elastic member 600 can be a part of the embedded member 400 and can be manufactured by integral injection molding.
[0259] The second elastic member 600 may be made of a plastic material with good elasticity and fatigue resistance. Specifically, the material of the first elastic member 500 may include but is not limited to PP (Polypropylene), PC (Polycarbonate) or PU (Polyurethane), etc., which is not limited here.
[0260] For example, in some embodiments, the second elastic member 600 is made of PP (Polypropylene).
[0261] In actual implementation, Figure 14-16 As shown, after the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 are connected by snap-fitting or other means, since the detachable connection method has limited effect on anti-loosening, the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 still have great mobility in the front-to-back direction. Taking into account the interference of the above-mentioned unfavorable factors, a second elastic member 600 is integrated on the side of the embedded part 400 close to the compartment during design. The second elastic member 600 can elastically stop the bracket 200 in the direction close to the opening of the liner 100, and tension the bracket 200 in this direction.
[0262] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes tensioning between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 in the left-right direction and the front-back direction through the arrangement of the above-mentioned second elastic member 600 in cooperation with the arrangement of the above-mentioned first elastic member 500. The first elastic member 500 and the second elastic member 600 are jointly pushed on the bracket 200 to generate the required tensioning force, so that the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 can maintain a certain degree of tightness and stability after assembly, further preventing loosening or displacement between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400, thereby improving the reliability and structural stability of the entire box.
[0263] In some embodiments, Figure 14-16 As shown, one end of the second elastic member 600 may be connected to the embedded member 400 , and the other end of the second elastic member 600 may be suspended.
[0264] The second elastic member 600 can be designed as a spring sheet structure. Based on the fact that the second elastic member 600 is a cantilever structure with one end suspended and the other end fixed, the free end of the second elastic member 600 has high elasticity. In other words, when the second elastic member 600 is elastically stretched between the bracket 200 and the embedded member 400, the second elastic member 600 is deformed to form a good tensioning effect on the bracket 200. When the bracket 200 and the embedded member 400 are disassembled and separated, the second elastic member 600 will return to its original state.
[0265] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured as a cantilever structure with one end fixed and the other end suspended through the above-mentioned second elastic member 600, so that the second elastic member 600 can maintain a stable tensioning force when subjected to external force. The use of this structure allows the second elastic member 600 to evenly distribute the tension, thereby avoiding excessive stress concentration at the force-bearing point and maintaining a long-lasting and stable tensioning effect.
[0266] In some embodiments, Figure 14-16As shown, the second elastic member 600 may include a connected second elastic section 610 and a second thrust section 620, the first elastic section 510 may be connected to the embedded part 400, and the first elastic section 510 may be inclined relative to the embedded part 400, the second thrust section 620 may be suspended, and the second thrust section 620 may be stopped at the bracket 200, the second elastic section 610 may be straight, and the second thrust section 620 may be arc-shaped.
[0267] The inclination direction of the second elastic section 610 may include the front, the rear or other directions, which is not limited here.
[0268] A plurality of second elastic members 600 may be provided, and the plurality of second elastic members 600 may be spaced apart and distributed in the up-down direction.
[0269] It is understandable that, based on the straight shape of the second elastic section 610 and the arc shape of the second thrust section 620, the second elastic member 600 is designed as a hook-shaped structure, which can generate a larger tensioning force and effectively utilize the elastic potential energy of the material. When the second elastic member 600 is stretched, the hook-shaped structure allows more material to participate in the deformation, thereby providing a stronger restoring force. At the same time, because the hook-shaped structure can fit the fixed point tightly, the second elastic member 600 can maintain good stability during operation, and is not easy to loosen or fall off, which helps to maintain the durability and reliability of the tensioning effect. In addition, the hook shape can adapt to hooking points of different shapes and sizes. This adaptability enables the second elastic member 600 to be widely used in various tensioning requirements, improving its versatility and practicality.

[0284] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the positioning and assembly between the embedded part 400 and the inner liner 100 through the design of connecting the embedded part 400 and the inner liner 100 by gluing, combined with the setting of the first positioning structure 440 and the second positioning structure 160, further enhances the connection strength between the embedded part 400 and the inner liner 100, and at the same time realizes the sealing between the embedded part 400 and the inner liner 100, thereby improving the overall stability of the box body.
[0285] In some embodiments, the embedded part 400 may be configured to be pre-installed between the inner liner 100 and the outer shell before the thermal insulation layer is formed, and the bracket 200 and the interior panel 300 may be configured to be assembled on the inner liner 100 after the thermal insulation layer is formed.
[0286] The assembly method of the interior trim panel 300 on the inner wall surface of the inner tank 100 has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0287] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the assembly process of the embedded parts 400, the interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200. The interior trim panel 300 and the bracket 200 are assembled to form a whole, which is assembled to the inner wall surface of the inner liner 100 after the box body is foamed, so as to prevent the interior trim panel 300 from being squeezed and severely deformed during foaming, which affects its use, when assembled before foaming. In addition, the bracket 200 and the embedded parts 400 are used to indirectly assemble the interior trim panel 300 to the inner liner 100, which solves the material compatibility problem between the interior trim panel 300 and the inner liner 100. At the same time, the assembly process is simple and reliable, which is conducive to promotion and use.
[0288] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, both the left and right walls of the liner 100 are provided with interior panels 300 .
[0289] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, by covering the interior trim panel 300 only on the left and right walls, improves the maintainability of the box body and saves the amount of metal material to the greatest extent, thereby achieving cost control.
[0290] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner container 100 defines a first installation space 170 for installing a drawer, and the interior trim panel 300 is connected to the first installation space 170 along the up-down direction.
[0291] like Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the partition 900 can divide the compartment into a first installation space 170 and a second installation space 180 spaced apart and distributed in the up and down directions, the drawer can be slidably installed in the first installation space 170, and the interior panel 300 can be arranged adjacent to the first installation space 170, so that the interior panel 300 may not interfere with the drawer.
[0292] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the structural setting of the above-mentioned interior panel 300 connected with the first installation space 170, realizes that the interior panel 300 extends downward to the position that can be just covered by the partition 900 and the drawer to adapt to the drawer. The use of this structure can reduce the interference between the interior panel 300 and the drawer without affecting the normal assembly of the drawer, while covering other parts of the wall that do not contact the drawer as much as possible.
[0293] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the inner liner 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 arranged on the left and right walls are each provided with a mounting frame 800, which is arranged close to the back wall of the inner liner 100 for connecting to one end of the shelf.
[0294] The assembly method of the cantilever shelf has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0295] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes cantilever installation of the shelf through the arrangement of the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the installation frame 800. The installation method is simple, and there is no need to perform complex processing and design on the interior panel 300, thereby improving the production and processing efficiency of the interior panel 300. At the same time, it allows the user to freely set the preservation space according to needs, and provides more layers for adjustment. The user does not need to take out the shelf, and can flexibly adjust it according to the placement requirements of the food. The cantilever shelf has strong stability and load-bearing capacity, and can safely carry heavier items without worrying about deformation or falling off of the shelf.
[0296] In some embodiments, the inner tank 100 defines a second installation space 180 for installing a shelf; the interior panels 300 disposed on the left and right walls are both provided with protrusions, and the protrusions are used to support the shelf for storage devices.
[0297] The assembly method of the side support shelf has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0298] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the side support installation of the shelf through the above-mentioned second installation space 180 and the setting of the protrusion, which effectively enhances the overall stability of the shelf. The shelf is not easy to shake or deform when carrying items, thereby improving the safety of the storage device. At the same time, the use of this structure can make full use of the side space of the inner liner 100, so that the storage area of the compartment is maximized, which is particularly beneficial for storing items with larger volume or irregular shape, and can effectively meet the user's diverse storage needs. In addition, since there is a certain gap between the shelf and the side of the inner liner 100, it makes it easier to clean the inside of the storage device.
[0299] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the back wall of the inner container 100 is provided with an interior panel 300 .
[0300] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application achieves proper covering of the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100 by the metal plate by arranging the interior panels 300 on the left side wall, right side wall and back wall of the inner liner 100, thereby alleviating the problem of cracking and discoloration and yellowing of the plastic inner liner 100 after long-term use, optimizing the antibacterial performance of the entire box body, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0301] In some embodiments, the interior trim panel 300 disposed on the back wall has air holes, and the air holes are used to connect the air supply duct between the compartment and the storage device.
[0302] The specific implementation method of front air supply has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0303] The box provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the arrangement of the above-mentioned air holes. The interior panel 300 based on the metal material has excellent thermal conductivity, which can more effectively transfer and disperse the cold, making the temperature distribution inside the storage device more uniform. At the same time, the interior panel 300 has good durability and high temperature resistance to resist deformation and damage, thereby extending the service life of the storage device, and the interior panel 300 can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, thereby creating a more hygienic and healthy storage environment.
[0304] In some embodiments, the box body further includes: an air duct cover.
[0305] The specific implementation method of side air supply has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0306] The box body provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the interior trim panel 300 is equipped with an air supply duct through the design of the side air outlet of the air duct cover. The side air outlet makes it difficult for oil, dirt and impurities to enter the air duct cover, thereby reducing corrosion and pollution to the box body. At the same time, the interior trim panel 300 with a non-porous structure increases its own structural strength and simplifies the production process of the interior trim panel 300, which is conducive to mass production.
[0307] The application also discloses a storage device.
[0308] In some embodiments, the storage device includes: a door body and any one of the boxes described above.
[0309] The door body is installed on the box body in an openable and closable manner, and is used to close the compartment of the box body.
[0310] The box body and the door body are connected by a hinge, and the door body can be rotated around the box body by the hinge to open and close the box body.
[0311] The storage device may include but is not limited to a refrigerator, a vending cabinet, a vending machine, a retail cabinet, a storage cabinet, a display cabinet, a wine cabinet or a courier cabinet.
[0312] The storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes tensioning between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 in the left-right direction through the setting of the above-mentioned box body and the setting of the above-mentioned first elastic member 500. The first elastic member 500 is pushed on the bracket 200 to generate the required tensioning force, so that the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400 can maintain a certain tightness and stability after assembly, preventing loosening or displacement between the bracket 200 and the embedded part 400, thereby improving the reliability and structural stability of the entire box body.
