[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 , the refrigerator in one embodiment includes a box body 10 and an air duct structure 20, and the air duct structure 20 is accommodated in the box body 10.
[0048] In this embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 shown, the air duct structure 20 has a ventilation opening 21, and a freezing chamber or a refrigerating chamber is provided in the box body 10, and air is led and sent into the freezing chamber or the refrigerating chamber in the box body 10 through the ventilation opening 21.
[0049] It can be understood that refrigerators of different types and sizes have box bodies 10 of different sizes, and different-sized air duct structures 20 need to be adapted. If the size of the air duct structure 20 cannot be changed, each size of the box body 10 needs to be equipped with an air duct structure 20, and the applicable range of the air duct structure 20 is narrow and the production cost is high.
[0050] Based on the above considerations, an air duct structure 20 with a wide applicable range and capable of effectively reducing costs is designed.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the air duct structure 20 in one embodiment includes a main body 100 and a telescopic mechanism 200. The telescopic mechanism 200 includes a first connecting member 210, a second connecting member 220 and a telescopic unit 230. Both the first connecting member 210 and the second connecting member 220 are connected to the main body 100, and the telescopic unit 230 is rotatably provided between the first connecting member 210 and the second connecting member 220.
[0052] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, the telescopic unit 230 has a folded state and an unfolded state; driving the telescopic unit 230 to rotate can make the telescopic unit 230 switch between the folded state and the unfolded state, thereby changing the length of the telescopic unit 230.
[0053] Through the above settings, the length of the telescopic unit 230 is changed by folding or unfolding the telescopic unit 230, thereby realizing the change of the size of the air duct structure 20, which can be adapted to different types or different sizes of refrigerators, and has a wide adaptation range; rotating the telescopic unit 230 can make the telescopic unit 230 switch between the folded state and the unfolded state, with simple operation and reasonable structural design, which is beneficial to reducing costs.
[0054] In Figure 4 the embodiment shown, the telescopic unit 230 includes a plurality of movable members 240. Each movable member 240 is rotatably connected as a whole. By rotating each movable member 240, the relative positions of the movable members 240 can be changed, and the length of the telescopic unit 230 can be changed.
[0055] It can be understood that when the telescopic unit 230 is in the folded state, each movable member 240 is in the first position. At this time, by rotating each movable member 240, each movable member 240 can be moved to the second position, and the telescopic unit 230 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state; by rotating each movable member 240 again, each movable member 240 can be returned from the second position to the first position, and the telescopic unit 230 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 3 shown, the movable member 240 located at the head is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210, and the movable member 240 located at the tail is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 220.
[0057] Specifically, as combined with Figure 8 shown, the first connecting member 210 is provided with a first connecting column 211, and the movable member 240 located at the head is rotatably connected to the first connecting column 211. The second connecting member 220 is provided with a second connecting column 221, and the movable member 240 located at the tail is rotatably connected to the second connecting column 221.
[0058] In Figure 5 the embodiment shown, each movable member 240 includes a fixed seat 241 and two movable columns 242. The two movable columns 242 are spaced apart on the fixed seat 241, and the movable columns 242 in each two adjacent movable members 240 are rotatably connected.
[0059] It should be noted that one movable column 242 in one movable member 240 is rotatably connected to one movable column 242 in another movable member 240, so that each movable member 240 is spliced together by a rotational connection method. Through this setting, each movable member 240 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which is beneficial to improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the two movable columns 242 of each movable member 240 are located on opposite sides of the fixed seat 241. Through this setting, the interference between the two movable columns 242 during rotation can be effectively avoided.
[0061] Specifically, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the fixed seat 241 includes a main body 241a and fixing plates 241b extending outward from both sides of the main body 241a. A receiving groove 241c is provided on each of the opposite sides of the main body 241a. The receiving groove 241c is open on one side and communicates with the outside. The end of the movable column 242 is fixed to the fixing plate 241b and is received in the receiving groove 241c. A part of the circumferential side of the movable column 242 is exposed from the opening of the receiving groove 241c.
[0062] In this embodiment, the main body 241a and the fixing plates 241b are of an integrally formed structure, and the movable column 242 and the fixing plate 241b are of an integrally formed structure, which has good integrity and high mechanical strength. In other embodiments, the movable column 242 and the fixing plate 241b can also be of a split structure and are fixed to the fixing plate 241b by a detachable connection method.
[0063] As Figure 5 shown in the embodiment, a through groove 243 is provided in the movable column 242 of one movable member 240, and the movable column 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 is rotatably disposed in the through groove 243.
[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the cross-section of the through groove 243 is a 270-degree sector cross-section, and the movable column 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 is semi-cylindrical, so that the movable column 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 can rotate 90 degrees each time in the through groove 243. Through this setting, when the movable column 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 rotates in the through groove 243 of one movable member 240, the rotation angle of the movable column 242 can be limited to prevent the skew of each movable member 240 from affecting the flatness of the air duct structure 20.
[0065] In other embodiments, the cross-section of the through groove 243 can also be other sector cross-sections, and the movable column 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 can be 1 / 4 cylindrical.
[0066] In Figure 6 shown in an embodiment, through grooves 243 are provided in both movable columns 242 of one movable member 240, and both movable columns 242 of another adjacent movable member 240 are semi-cylindrical.
[0067] For example, as combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the telescopic unit 230 includes a first movable member 250, a second movable member 260, and a third movable member 270. The second movable member 260 is rotatably connected to the first movable member 250 and the third movable member 270 respectively. The first movable member 250 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210, and the third movable member 270 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 220.
[0068] Combined withFigure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , the first movable member 250240 includes a first fixed seat 251, a first movable column 252 and a second movable column 253. The first movable column 252 and the second movable column 253 are spaced apart on the first fixed seat 251; the second movable member 260 includes a second fixed seat 261, a third movable column 262 and a fourth movable column 263. The third movable column 262 and the fourth movable column 263 are spaced apart on the second fixed seat 261; the third movable member 270 includes a third fixed seat 271, a fifth movable column 272 and a sixth movable column 273. The fifth movable column 272 and the sixth movable column 273 are spaced apart on the third fixed seat 271. The first movable column 252 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210, the sixth movable column 273 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 220, the second movable column 253 is rotatably connected to the third movable column 262, and the fourth movable column 263 is rotatably connected to the fifth movable column 272.
[0069] Wherein, a first through groove 254 is provided in the first movable column 252, a second through groove 255 is provided in the second movable column 253. The third movable column 262 and the fourth movable column 263 are both semi-cylindrical. A third through groove 274 is provided in the fifth movable column 272, and a fourth through groove 275 is provided in the sixth movable column 273. The cross-sections of the first through groove 254, the second through groove 255, the third through groove 274, and the fourth through groove 275 are all 270-degree fan-shaped cross-sections. The first connecting column 211 is rotatably arranged in the first through groove 254, the second connecting column 221 is rotatably arranged in the fourth through groove 275, the third movable column 262 is rotatably arranged in the second through groove 255, and the fourth movable column 263 is rotatably arranged in the third through groove 274.
[0070] When the telescopic unit 230 is in the folded state, the first movable member 250, the second movable member 260 and the third movable member 270 are in the first position. Rotate the first movable member 250 clockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211, rotate the second movable member 260 counterclockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211, and rotate the third movable member 270 counterclockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211. At this time, the telescopic unit 230 is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state; rotate the first movable member 250 counterclockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211 again, rotate the second movable member 260 clockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211, and rotate the third movable member 270 clockwise by 90 degrees around the first connecting column 211. At this time, the telescopic unit 230 is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0071] In Figure 6 In another embodiment not shown, one of the two movable columns 242 of the same movable member 240 is provided with a through groove 243, and the other movable column 242 of the same movable member 240 is semi-cylindrical.
[0072] For example, in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first movable member 250 includes a first fixed seat 251, a first movable column 252 and a second movable column 253. The first movable column 252 and the second movable column 253 are spaced apart on the first fixed seat 251; the second movable member 260 includes a second fixed seat 261, a third movable column 262 and a fourth movable column 263. The third movable column 262 and the fourth movable column 263 are spaced apart on the second fixed seat 261; the third movable member 270 includes a third fixed seat 271, a fifth movable column 272 and a sixth movable column 273. The fifth movable column 272 and the sixth movable column 273 are spaced apart on the third fixed seat 271. The first movable column 252 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210, the sixth movable column 273 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 220, the second movable column 253 is rotatably connected to the third movable column 262, and the fourth movable column 263 is rotatably connected to the fifth movable column 272.
[0073] Among them, the first movable column 252, the third movable column 262 and the fifth movable column 272 are all provided with through grooves 243, and the second movable column 253, the fourth movable column 263 and the sixth movable column 273 are all semi-cylindrical. The first connecting column 211 is rotatably arranged in the through groove 243 of the first movable column 252, the second connecting column 221 is rotatably connected to the sixth movable column 273, the second movable column 253 is rotatably arranged in the through groove 243 of the third movable column 262, and the fourth movable column 263 is rotatably arranged in the through groove 243 of the fifth movable column 272.
[0074] Since each movable member 240 needs to be positioned after rotation and the movable members 240 are made to be close to each other to prevent the movable members 240 from being unable to be positioned, which affects the structural stability of the telescopic unit 230 in each state. Based on the above considerations, as Figure 8 shown, a magnetic member 244 is provided in each fixed seat 241, and the polarities of the magnetic members 244 in two adjacent fixed seats 241 are opposite.
[0075] Through this setting, when the telescopic unit 230 is in the folded state, the magnetic members 244 in adjacent fixed seats 241 can attract each other, reducing the gap between adjacent movable members 240 and improving the sealing performance and assembly structural strength of the telescopic unit 230.
[0076] In a specific embodiment, the magnetic member 244 is a permanent magnet. At least two magnetic members 244 can be provided in each fixed seat 241 to enhance the adsorption force of the magnetic member 244.
[0077] In this embodiment, the magnetic member 244 is built into the fixed seat 241. In other embodiments, the magnetic member 244 can also be attached to the outer wall of the fixed seat 241.
[0078] Since each movable part 240 needs to be locked after rotation to lock the telescopic unit 230 in the folded state or the unfolded state, otherwise the structural stability of the telescopic unit 230 in each state cannot be ensured. Based on the above considerations, as Figure 9 shown, the air duct structure 20 further includes a locking mechanism 280, and the locking mechanism 280 is disposed between the telescopic unit 230, the first connecting member 210 and the second connecting member 220, and is used to lock the telescopic unit 230 in the folded state or the unfolded state.
[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 shown, the locking mechanism 280 includes a locking seat 281 and a locking member 282. The connecting end of the locking seat 281 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 210, the free end of the locking seat 281 is movably buckled to the second connecting member 220, and the locking member 282 passes through the locking seat 281 and is rotatably connected to the movable column 242. By rotating the locking member 282, the locking member 282 can be clamped to the locking seat 281, and the telescopic unit 230 can be locked.
[0080] It can be understood that when the free end of the locking seat 281 is buckled to the second connecting member 220 and the locking member 282 rotates to be clamped to the locking seat 281, there is no movable space between the locking member 282 and the locking seat 281. At this time, the movable column 242 is locked and cannot rotate, and the telescopic unit 230 can be locked in the folded state or the unfolded state; when the locking member 282 rotates again and is not clamped to the locking seat 281, the locking member 282 lifts up some space relative to the locking seat 281. At this time, the movable column 242 is unlocked and can rotate, and the telescopic unit 230 can be switched between the folded state and the unfolded state.
[0081] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 shown, the locking seat 281 is provided with a slot 283, the locking member 282 includes a clamping portion 282a and a locking portion 282b, the locking portion 282b passes through the slot 283 and is rotatably connected to the movable column 242, and the clamping portion 282a can be clamped outside the slot 283.
[0082] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 282a is rectangular and has a long side and a short side. As shown in Figure 9 shown, when the movable column 242 is unlocked, the long side of the clamping portion 282a is parallel to the extending direction of the slot 283; as shown in Figure 10 shown, when the movable column 242 is locked, the long side of the clamping portion 282a is perpendicular to the extending direction of the slot 283.
[0083] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 282a and the locking portion 282b are integrally formed structures, which have good integrity and high mechanical strength. In other embodiments, the clamping portion 282a and the locking portion 282b can also be detachable structures, which are convenient for replacing different locking portions 282b to adapt to different movable columns 242.
[0084] In this embodiment, a locking member 282 is correspondingly provided on each movable column 242. In other embodiments, a locking member 282 may be provided every other movable column 242.
