Description

Technical Field

[0002] At present, air-cooled refrigerators have become the mainstream refrigerator products due to their large volume ratio, automatic defrosting, automatic discharge of defrosting water, and good appearance. The air duct design of air-cooled refrigerators generally adopts centrifugal fans or axial flow fans. The air duct adopts a combination of foam and ABS. The shape is generally a branch structure, and each air duct branch corresponds to an air outlet. In this air duct structure, the air volume of each air outlet cannot be kept consistent, and it is easy to have the phenomenon of excessive wind speed in some places and too small air volume in other places. In addition, the volume occupied by the foam and ABS cover is large, which wastes part of the refrigerator volume; and it is easy to have uneven temperature distribution, excessively high local temperature, and excessively low local temperature.

[0003] The present invention provides a refrigerator with an air multiplier duct, in which high-pressure cold air is blown into the left and right air inlets of the annular multiplier duct by a fan, and the high-pressure cold air in the annular multiplier duct is ejected through the annular ejection port to form a high-speed airflow, which drives the air inlet gap to form a wind flow and then forms a planar wind flow, thereby realizing uniform large-area air supply. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with an air multiplier duct, in which high-pressure cold air is blown into the left and right air inlets of the annular multiplier duct by a fan. The high-pressure cold air in the annular multiplier duct is ejected through the annular ejection port to form a high-speed airflow, which drives the air inlet gap to form wind flow and then forms a planar wind flow, thereby realizing uniform large-area air supply.

[0008] The rear wall of the annular multiplier air duct is connected to the foam layer at the back of the refrigeration compartment by a plurality of connecting blocks to form an air inlet gap; the rear wall and the inner wall of the annular multiplier air duct are provided with an annular injection air outlet; the cross section of the annular multiplier air duct is trapezoidal in shape as a whole and the narrow end of the annular multiplier air duct is far away from the foam layer at the back of the refrigeration compartment; the wind flow direction at the injection point of the annular injection air outlet is parallel to the axial direction of the annular multiplier air duct.

[0009] Preferably, the two sides constituting the annular jet outlet are respectively the rear wall and the inner wall of the annular multiplier air duct; one side edge of the inner wall is bent toward the inside of the annular multiplier air duct to form a first arc-shaped bent edge; one side edge of the rear wall is bent parallel to the axial direction of the annular multiplier air duct to form a second arc-shaped bent edge; the first arc-shaped bent edge is located inside the second arc-shaped bent edge.

[0010] Preferably, the width of the annular jet air port is 3-5 mm; the width of the air inlet gap is 1-2 cm.
