[0026] In related technologies, the refrigerator panel generally serves as the exterior surface of the refrigerator. Existing technologies use steel plates for the refrigerator panel, which offer good structural strength but are not scratch-resistant and have limited texture options. Glass panels are also an option, offering good aesthetics but are fragile and prone to breakage, posing a safety risk. Leather panels offer a pleasant feel and high-end texture but are difficult to maintain and cover. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) panels are also used, which are environmentally friendly but require sophisticated manufacturing processes and have a less refined appearance. These existing technologies struggle to balance structural strength, environmental friendliness, and user experience in refrigerator panel material selection.

[0027] The following is for reference. Figure 1 A refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator according to the present invention includes: a cabinet and a door. The cabinet has a receiving cavity and an open opening communicating with the receiving cavity. A first substrate is provided on the outer surface of the cabinet. The door is movably disposed on the cabinet to selectively open and close the open opening. A second substrate is provided on the outer surface of the door. A silicon film layer 2 is provided on the outer surface of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate.

[0029] Here, the silicone film layer 2 can be used as at least part of the exterior surface of the refrigerator. The silicone film layer 2 is generally a silicone polymer mixture slurry, which is composed of silicone mixed resin, solvent (such as silicone oil), coloring substances (such as color paste, color powder, etc.), fillers, and additives. The silicone film layer 2 has adjustable color and customizable texture, and it also offers a better feel and texture, while being environmentally friendly and providing a better user experience.

[0030] In the manufacturing process of silicon film layer 2, the silicone polymer slurry can be first coated onto release paper, and after multiple processes, dried and cooled, it can be peeled off from the release paper to obtain silicon film layer 2. The production process of silicon film layer 2 is environmentally friendly and healthy, and can present different color appearances and texture effects according to the color of the coloring material and the texture of the release paper, thus exhibiting a variety of styles. The first and second substrates of a refrigerator are generally rigid substrates. This substrate 1 can be made of rigid materials such as glass, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), and wood. When making the refrigerator panel, the silicon film layer 2 can be applied to the first and / or second substrates of the refrigerator, and then the edges can be trimmed. The manufacturing operation is simple and practical. Furthermore, when the substrate 1 is glass, the silicon film layer 2 needs to be trimmed along the edge of the glass after application. When the substrate 1 is a cutable material such as SPC, HIPS, or wood, the silicon film layer 2 can be cut to the required size after application.

[0031] Preferably, both the first substrate and the second substrate of the refrigerator are provided with a silicon film layer 2, in which case the silicon film layer 2 can serve as the overall appearance surface of the refrigerator.

[0032] According to this utility model, the refrigerator has a silicon film layer 2 disposed on the substrate 1, so that the silicon film layer 2 serves as at least part of the refrigerator's exterior surface. The silicon film layer 2 has a good tactile feel, is easy to clean, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and has good physical properties, is not easily deformed, is easy to manufacture, and is made of environmentally friendly materials, thus providing users with a better user experience.

[0033] Furthermore, the silicon film layer 2 can be applied not only to the exterior surface of refrigerators, but also to other rigid substrates as their exterior surface, giving these rigid substrates a better tactile feel and enhancing the user experience.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the silicone film layer 2 includes an organosilicon surface layer 3 and an organosilicon coating 4. The organosilicon surface layer 3 is located on the outer surface of the first substrate and / or the second substrate; the organosilicon coating 4 is located on the outer surface of the organosilicon surface layer 3 and serves as at least part of the exterior surface of the refrigerator. Here, the organosilicon material, as a refrigerator panel, has diverse appearance and skin-feel effects. Moreover, its material is environmentally friendly and recyclable, odorless and non-toxic, with good temperature resistance, good stain resistance, and hydrolysis resistance. It also has anti-aging and flame-retardant properties, which can improve the overall appearance and function of the refrigerator. The organosilicon surface layer 3 serves as the base for the organosilicon coating 4, which can establish a physical barrier to resist wear and impact on the substrate. The organosilicon coating 4 can serve as a functional tactile coating for the organosilicon surface layer 3, giving the silicone film layer 2 better wear and scratch resistance, stain removal and fingerprint prevention, and delicate skin-feel effects, thus enriching the user experience of the silicone film layer 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the thickness of the silicone coating 4 is no greater than the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3. In other words, the silicone coating 4 is typically thinner than the silicone surface layer 3, so that it does not significantly alter the thickness or shape of the silicone film layer 2. Here, the silicone coating 4 can be a material such as resin, modified silicone oil, or silicone rubber solution, applied to the surface of the silicone surface layer 3 through coating methods such as spraying, dipping, roller coating, brushing, or spin coating to achieve functional changes such as waterproofing, stain resistance, non-sticking, weather resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, lubrication, improved feel, and breathability. The silicone coating 4 can form a protective barrier, isolating the silicone surface layer 3 from direct contact with the external environment, and can also be used for aesthetic purposes.

[0036] Furthermore, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. The silicone surface layer 3 can be used to structurally protect the refrigerator's substrate 1. It protects the substrate 1 through its own thickness and physical strength. Therefore, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 should not be too small. Furthermore, to achieve a lightweight refrigerator and facilitate the application and assembly of the silicone film layer 2, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 should not be too large. To balance the strength of the silicone film layer 2 and facilitate its assembly, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. For example, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 can be 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, etc.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the silicon film layer 2 also includes a PET layer 5 (Polyethylene Terephthalate). The PET layer 5 is located on the outer surface of the first substrate and / or the second substrate, and the outer surface of the PET layer 5 is suitable for depositing the silicone surface layer 3. Here, the PET layer 5 is generally used to support the silicone surface layer 3, transferring the silicone surface layer 3 to the substrate 1 through the PET layer 5 to achieve the bonding and assembly of the silicone surface layer 3 and the substrate 1. Furthermore, the PET layer 5 has high mechanical strength, is not easily deformed, maintains shape stability, has good insulation properties, good barrier properties, is not easily corroded, and has high transparency and gloss, providing a good visual effect as a refrigerator panel. It is also highly processable, safe, environmentally friendly, and recyclable.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the silicone film layer 2 also includes an organosilicon adhesive layer 6, which is located between the PET layer 5 and the organosilicon surface layer 3. Here, the composition and process of the organosilicon adhesive layer 6 are similar to or the same as those of the organosilicon surface layer 3. The organosilicon adhesive layer 6 is suitable for bonding the PET layer 5 and the organosilicon surface layer 3 to achieve the connection between the organosilicon surface layer 3 and the PET layer 5, which facilitates the subsequent application and assembly of the organosilicon surface layer 3 and the substrate 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the thickness of the PET layer 5 ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Here, the PET layer 5 serves as an intermediate layer connecting the silicone surface layer 3 and the substrate 1. Its thickness should not be too small to ensure its own structural strength and the connection stability between the silicone surface layer 3 and the substrate 1. At the same time, the thickness of the PET layer 5 should not be too large, as this would affect the lightweight design of the refrigerator. To balance the strength of the PET layer 5 with the lightweight design of the refrigerator, the thickness of the PET layer 5 ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. For example, the thickness of the PET layer 5 can be 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, etc.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator also includes an adhesive layer 7, which is disposed between the PET layer 5 and the first substrate and / or the second substrate. Here, the adhesive can be applied to the substrate 1 by means of roller coating, brush coating, scraping coating, spraying, etc., to form the adhesive layer 7, and the adhesive includes, but is not limited to, pressure-sensitive adhesive, UV adhesive, etc. The PET layer 5 is attached to the substrate 1 through the adhesive layer 7, which makes the attachment and assembly effect of the silicon film layer 2 better and the connection between the silicon film layer 2 and the substrate 1 more stable.

[0041] Furthermore, adhesive layer 7 is coated on the outer surface of the first substrate and / or the second substrate, and the coating amount is 25 g / m². 2 Taking substrate 1 as an example, which is made of glass, the PET layer 5 is coated with a coating amount of 25g / m 2 The adhesive layer 7 is applied to the glass substrate 1. At room temperature (25 degrees Celsius), when the PET layer 5 is torn at a 180° angle, the peel strength must be no less than 25 N / 20 mm. This means that at least 25 Newtons of force are required for every 20 mm wide sample. When the coating amount reaches 25 g / m²... 2 At this time, the connection between the PET layer 5 and the substrate 1 is more stable, and therefore, the connection between the silicon film layer 2 and the substrate 1 is more stable, and the bonding and assembly effect of the silicon film layer 2 is better.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the thickness of the silicon film layer 2 ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5mm. Here, the silicon film layer 2 serves as the outer surface of the substrate 1, providing structural protection for the substrate 1. It protects the substrate 1 through its own thickness and physical strength; therefore, the thickness of the silicon film layer 2 should not be too small. Furthermore, to achieve a lightweight refrigerator and facilitate the application and assembly of the silicon film layer 2, the thickness of the silicone surface layer 3 should not be too large. To balance the strength of the silicon film layer 2 and facilitate its assembly, the thickness of the silicon film layer 2 ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5mm. For example, the thickness of the silicon film layer 2 can be 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, etc.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the silicone film layer 2 includes a silicone coating layer 4, a silicone surface layer 3, a silicone adhesive layer 6, and a PET layer 5 arranged sequentially. The PET layer 5 is bonded to the substrate via an adhesive layer 7. The silicone coating layer 4 coats the silicone surface layer 3 with a functional tactile coating, giving the silicone film layer 2 better wear and scratch resistance, stain removal, fingerprint resistance, and a delicate skin feel. The silicone surface layer 3 is a silicone polymer mixture slurry. The silicone polymer slurry is scraped onto release paper, with a wet thickness of 0.1mm to 0.3mm. After drying in an oven, it proceeds to the process of coating the silicone adhesive layer 6. The composition and process of the silicone adhesive layer 6 are similar to or the same as those of the silicone surface layer 3, with a wet thickness of 0.1mm to 0.3mm. When the silicone adhesive layer 6 is dried in an oven to a semi-dry state within a suitable tack range, the PET layer 5 is applied. After being completely dried and cooled in an oven, it is peeled off from the release paper to obtain the silicone film layer 2.

[0044] In summary, the refrigerator according to this utility model has a silicon film layer 2 disposed on the substrate 1, so that the silicon film layer 2 serves as at least part of the exterior surface of the refrigerator. The silicon film layer 2 has a good tactile feel, is easy to clean, wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and has good physical properties, is not easily deformed, is easy to manufacture, and is environmentally friendly, thus providing users with a better user experience.
